La soledad is a delicate journey to the interior of our feelings, brimming with imagination in which desire, gratitude, justice and dreams come together. A handful of fascinating characters who will remain with the reader for a long time move through its pages: the charming thief Bruno Labastide, the book prescriber, the dream catcher and the young Japanese woman with honey-coloured eyes who defies fate each afternoon in her Venetian apartment. Magical and hypnotic, this moving novel carries the reader from Paris to Buenos Aires, from Venice to Indochina, making readers accomplices in the lives of the characters, apparently solitary losers who, in reality, manage, almost unconsciously, to attain the highest and most beautiful aspiration of human nature: making others happy.
