Veinte años, cinco voces, una carta y media vida sintetizan esta historia. Cinco antiguos amigos reciben una carta de su colegio, invitándoles a participar en unas jornadas teatrales. La obra que deben representar invierte sus antiguos roles, y viven de forma directa la fuerte experiencia del bullying... Un hecho grave sesgo su amistad en la adolescencia. Aquel acontecimiento pasado los persigue sin piedad, viviendolo de forma diferente cada uno, segun sus personalidades y roles. Los hilos que les unieron en la adolescencia, hoy se han vuelto como sogas que los amarran y cruzan entre ellos con mas fuerza, sin poder hacer nada por evitarlo. Cinco vidas que multiplican por cinco problemas de convivencia, desapegos, afectos, desamor, soledad...A lo largo de la novela, se mezclan con fluidez pasado y presente, siendo para algunos dificil de discernir.Cinco vidas y media retrata como, ante un mismo conflicto, las relaciones interpersonales de los individuos marcan a cada uno de forma diferente, siendo las interpretaciones de su contenido tan dispares como individuos hayan formado parte de el.Nada es irremediable, toda problematica tratada a tiempo puede abonar una flor marchita y hacer que esta se enderece.

Una mirada en silencio es una invitación a detenerse. A habitar con lucidez y ternura los espacios más íntimos del ser: la herida, la infancia, el cuerpo, el deseo, el pensamiento, la pérdida y el amor. Con una voz honesta, tejida desde la experiencia y la reflexion, Victoria Clemente Legaz escribe desde el umbral donde la sensibilidad se convierte en conocimiento.Este libro es una constelacion de fragmentos vivos, una escritura que no pretende cerrar sentidos sino abrirlos. Una filosofia encarnada, escrita en voz baja pero con fuerza, que apuesta por la posibilidad de reconstruirse y de imaginar otros mundos posibles, mas humanos, mas lentos, mas verdaderos.Para quienes aun creen que la ternura es una forma de pensamiento. Para quienes necesitan volver al centro.Porque tal vez, al final, eso sea la memoria: un acto valiente y tierno que permite contar y habitar sin dolor un pasado herido.

This book is going to revolutionize the way we understand Vermeer Peter CareyThe paintings of Johannes Vermeer of Delft are some of the most beautiful even sublime in the history of art Yet like the life of Vermeer himself they are mysterious and have for centuries defied explanation Following new leads and drawing on a mass of historical evidence some of it freshly uncovered in the archives of Delft and Rotterdam Andrew Graham Dixon paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer revealing many of the painter s hitherto unknown friendships as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a radical movement driven underground by persecution He also vividly evokes the world of the Dutch Republic as it was in its so called Golden Age This was a watery world of fortresses and flood plains taverns rocked by argument and cities stunned by devastating attacks and explosions all linked by a network of canals where a uniquely efficient public transport system operated by horse drawn passenger barge enabled people goods and ideas to glide effortlessly from one place to another The author sets Vermeer firmly in the context of his time revealing the patterns of patronage that make sense of his work and also exposing the difficulties posed by his home life whic
