The #1 international bestselling phenomenon: a profound and riveting story of love, loss, and memory.A man at a crossroads in the middle of his life returns to the small mountain town where he was born and where his parents have recently died. In the face of enormous personal tumult, he sits down to write. What follows is a dizzying, audacious chronicle of his childhood and an unsparing account of his life’s trials, failures, and triumphs that becomes a moving look at what family gives and takes away. In the shadow of the Pyrenees, with the intimacy of a diarist, he reckons with the ghosts of his parents and the current specters of his divorce, his children, his career, and his addictions. Narrated in a single sitting with unswerving honesty, Vilas explores his identity after great loss—what is a person without a marriage or without parents? What is a person when faced with memories alone? Vilas is an acclaimed poet and novelist in Spain, but this autobiographical novel takes his work to a whole different level: critics have called it “a work of art able to cauterize pain.” Elegiac and searching, Ordesa is a meditation on loss and a powerful exploration of a person who is both ordinary and extraordinary—at once singular and representing us all—who transforms a time of crisis into something beautiful and redemptive.

ESTA HISTORIA TE PERTENECE «Uno de los libros más humanos, más profundos, más reconfortantes que yo he leído en mucho tiempo.».-Lorenzo Silva. Escrito a ratos desde el desgarro, y siempre desde la emoción, este libro es la crónica íntima de la España de las últimas décadas, pero también una narración sobre todo aquello que nos recuerda que somos seres vulnerables, sobre la necesidad de levantarnos y seguir adelante cuando nada parece hacerlo posible, cuando casi todos los lazos que nos unían a los demás han desaparecido o los hemos roto. Y sobrevivimos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This story belongs to you. “One of the deepest, most human, most comforting stories that I have read in a long time.” –Lorenzo Silva Written sometimes from a sense of anguish and always from emotion, this book is the intimate chronicle of modern-day Spain, but it is also a narration about all that reminds us that we are vulnerable beings, and about the need to get up and keep going when nothing seems possible, when almost all the ties that unite us have disappeared or been broken. And yet we survive.
