Paperback. Una expedicion memorable al corazon de una familia. "Somos esa generacion que en su infancia dejaba el mejor sitio de la mesa para el padre y que ahora se lo deja al hijo. Eso somos", dice Javier, el padre. "La adolescencia puede ser un infierno. Basta con el cielo de los otros. Es suficiente con que te los imagines mas felices y mas guapos que tu y sin el nudo que sientes dentro", dice Ines, la hija. Javier y Celia son un matrimonio de clase media con un hijo pequeno y una hija preadolescente. El trabaja en una editorial y ella en un hospital; el arregla vidas de mentira y ella arregla vidas de verdad. Tratan de prosperar, se mudan a un barrio mejor: la cotidianidad. Podria ser la historia de muchos. Hasta que tiene lugar una excursion a Pirineos que lo cambia absolutamente todo. Esta es la historia de un viaje al abismo que habla de otros muchos viajes. El viaje de la infancia a la convulsa adolescencia. El que va de la algarabia infantil al silencio mas sepulcral. El de los padres que caminan detras con su culpa y llegan tarde. El de los abuelos que fueron delante y a los que nadie escucha. El que hace alguien para salvar una vida. Tambien es la historia de ese otro viaje al que todos tenemos miedo: el que habla de nuestro pasado mas oscuro y secreto. Los incomprendidos es una novela sobre la soledad familiar, la incomunicacion entre padres e hijos, el horror de decir, pero tambien, y desde la primera pagina, sobre la esperanza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A memorable journey into the heart of a family. "We are that generation who, in childhood, gave the best seat at the table to our father and now give it to our child. That's who we are," says Javier, the father. "Adolescence can be hell. The mere existence of other people's heaven is enough. It's enough to imagine them happier, better-looking than you, and free of the knot you feel inside," says Ines, the daughter. Javier and Celia are a middle-class couple with a young son and a preteen daughter. He works in publishing and she in a hospital; he fixes fictional lives while she saves real ones. They try to get ahead, they move to a better neighborhood: everyday life. It could be anyone's story. Until a trip to the Pyrenees changes everything. This is the story of a journey into the abyss that speaks of many other journeys. The passage from childhood to turbulent adolescence. The shift from childhood noise to absolute silence. The parents who walk behind, burdened with guilt, arriving too late. The grandparents who went ahead and whom no one listens to. The journey someone takes to save a life. It is also the story of that other journey we all fear: the one that confronts our darkest and most secret past. Los incomprendidos is a novel about family loneliness, the breakdown in communication between parents and children, the horror of speaking out--and, from the very first page, about hope. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
