Paperback. Condición: Very Good. "[A] riveting, and original, achievement."--WIRED From award-winning Spanish author Ray Loriga comes a dystopian novel about authority, manipulation, and the disappearance of privacy that "calls to mind The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood [and] Blindness by José Saramago" (Alfaguara Prize Winner Citation). Ten long years have passed since war first broke out, and one couple still does not know the whereabouts of their children, or what their country is even fighting for. They follow orders and their lives go by simply, routinely, until--one day--a mute boy walks onto their property. When the authorities announce that the area needs to be evacuated and that everyone must relocate to "the transparent city," the three leave together. At first, the city proves to be a paradise: a stunning glass dome of endless highways, buildings, trains, and markets. Everything its inhabitants need is provided to them--food, protection, shelter--and the family quickly, unquestioningly, settles into their new life. But, soon, a sinister underlay begins to emerge. Neither secrets nor walls are permitted here, and strict order, authoritarian calm, and transparency must always reign supreme. In a society in which everything private is public, the most chilling portent of our future emerges. Surrender is an urgent novel about dignity and rebellion and the lengths we go to preserve love, hope, and humanity. "Loriga envisions in this gripping tale an unsettling dystopia in which all secrets are forbidden.This memorable page-turner will appeal to fans of Brave New World."--Publishers Weekly&nbsp.…

Paperback. Condición: Like New. Vuelve Ray Loriga, Premio Alfaguara de Novela, con una historia al borde del abismo sobre los límites de lo humano. «La distancia que toma Loriga respecto de lo narrado, su sentido de humor y la ligereza para hablar delo poco importante que es creerse importante son esenciales para recomendar su lectura». --Carlos Zanón, La Vanguardia «El mundo, es bien sabido, no es más que una emboscada». El narrador de esta historia despierta en una cama que no reconoce en una habitación que no siente propia. Está amaneciendo y no sabe dónde está, ni que le impide levantarse, le cuesta abrir los ojos e identificar los ruidos y las voces que llegan desde el exterior. En su duermevela, trata de engarzar un recuerdo con otro hasta componer un mosaico en el que solo una constante parece anclarlo a la realidad: la relación que le une a Elisa y Tim. Con una prosa certera y afilada, TIM narra la vulnerabilidad de un ser al límite de su conciencia en combate consigo mismo y el mundo que le rodea. Como si de una metáfora de nuestro presente se tratara, el relato se construye y deconstruye una y otra vez hasta colocar al lector ante el abismo de lo verdadero y del concepto último de identidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Ray Loriga, recipient of the Alfaguara Novel Prize, returns with a story on the razor's edge about the limits of humanity. "The world--and this is well known--is nothing more than an ambush." The narrator wakes up on a bed he doesn't recognize, in a room that doesn't feel as his own. The sun's coming up, but he doesn't know where he is, or what prevents him from getting up. He can't open his eyes nor identify the noises and voices coming from outside. In his drowsiness, he tries to thread one memory to another, putting together a mosaic where just one constant seems to anchor him to reality: his relationship with Elisa and Tim. With an accurate and sharp prose, Tim follows the vulnerability of a being on the edge of consciousness, battling himself and the world around him. Almost like a metaphor of our present, the tale is built and rebuilt, over and over, until the reader stands before the abyss of what is true and of the ultimate concept of identity.…
