LA NUEVA NOVELA DE JUAN JOS??? MILL???S Una historia sobre la imaginaci???n y el poder transformador de la literatura ???Para no hacerlosentir inc???modo, finjamos que Mill???s no es uno de nuestros mejores escritores???. - Sergi P???mies, La Vanguardia ???Juan Jos??? Mill???ses due???o de un territorio fant???stico de incuestionable personalidad???. - J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Pa???s ??????Y lo imaginario es real? Claro, qu??? va a ser si no???. El d???a en que cumple dieciocho a???os, Carlos recibe un extra???o regalo: la noticia de que su padre, al que nunca trat???, ha muerto y le ha dejado en herencia una casa con todo lo que contiene y una vida desconocida a la que asomarse. Examinando los vestigios de esa existencia abruptamente interrumpida, encuentra un manuscrito que narra una historia de amores secretos, de una ni???a y una mariposa, de amistad y de muerte. ???Es una confesi???n real o una ficci???n? Carlos, que est??? a punto de iniciar sus estudios de Administraci???n y Direcci???n de Empresas, se da cuenta de que su padre era un lector voraz. En el dormitorio de esa casa que poco a poco va haciendo suya, junto a la cama, descubre un libro que le atrapa: los cuentos de los hermanos Grimm. El chico se sumerge en la lectura de esos relatos y al tiempo inicia un proceso vital que le acerca cada vez m???s a su padre y le ense???a la manera de transitar por esas fronteras invisibles que separan la realidad de la fantas???a y la cordura de la locura. En esta novela enga???osamente ligera, Juan Jos??? Mill???s vuelve a algunos de los temas m???s representativos de su narrativa, como la identidad, el desdoblamiento, los recovecos m???s oscuros de la realidad cotidiana --aquellos en los que se esconde lo extraordinario-- y la paternidad, al tiempo que compone un himno a la imaginaci???n y al poder transformador de la literatura. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION JUAN JOS??? MILL???S' LATEST NOVEL. A story about imagination and the transformative power of literature. "So as not to make him feel uncomfortable, let's pretend Mill???s isn't one of our best writers." --Sergi P???mies, La Vanguardia "Juan Jos??? Mill???s owns a fantastic realm of an indisputable personality." --J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Pa???s "And is the imaginary real? Of course, what else." On his eighteenth birthday, Carlos receives a strange gift: news about his father's death, whom he never met, but has left him a house and everything in it, along with an unknown life he can now peer into. Going through the remnants of this abruptly interrupted existence, Carlos finds a manuscript narrating a story about secret lovers, about a girl and a butterfly, about friendship and death. Is this a real confession, or a work of fiction? Carlos, about to begin his studies in Business Administration and Management, realizes his father was an avid reader. Next to the bed in his room, in a house he is gradually making his own, Carlos finds a book that hooks him: the tales of the brothers Grimm. The young man immerses himself in those stories and eventually kickstarts a vital process that drives him ever closer to his father, showing him a way to walk on those invisible boundaries between fantasy and the sanity of madness. In this misleadingly light novel, Juan Jos??? Mill???s returns to some of the most representative themes in his narrative, such as identity, unfolding, the darkest nooks in everyday reality--where the extraordinary is hidden--and paternity, all a
