"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins". #thestorybegins

An amazing book about three iconic poets: San Juan de la Cruz, Holdërlin and Pessoa. In three short stories Valero takes main episodes of their lives and through fiction goes into the hearts and souls. A book about thought and emotion. About human condition and creation. Extraordinary images!

Comenzando a leer a Vicente Valero: en este libro hace ficción de tres hechos históricos singulares y misteriosos de la vida de San Juan de la Cruz, Friedrich Hölderlin y Fernando Pessoa.

This bool is a classic and not an easy read. It is a philosophical novel that gives a lot of weight to thought, as much as it does action. It is the story of a man who finds a magic skin that grants him any wish he has at the cost of diminishing his lifetime. A novel about death, love, desire.
