Resumen del libro
Jacques (Albert Camuss alter ego) recalls the final years of his life. Famous for his opposition to any form of violence whatsoever, his ideas met with the disapproval of the intelligentsia of the time, and he found himself receiving numerous death threats'a situation that would trigger in him a recurring nightmare: They were coming for him . . . to kill him.
Winner of the Premio Dulce Chacón de Narrativa, this novel offers an insightful take on Albert Camuss final years. Masterfully combining fiction and true facts, and with extracts from Camuss novels interspersed throughout the narrative itself, Berta Vias brings to life the process that led to the Nobel Prize-winning writers intellectual isolation and ultimate abandonment.
