El arte de vivir la muerte

With a prologue by Carlos Javier González Serrano (sixty thousand followers on Twitter), this book is a literary-philosophical booklet written in adages or aphorisms, a composition of short writings whose themes - people, love, philosophy, literature, poetry, suicide, the West and the East, the deceased, memory, time or immortality, verbigracy - orbit in harmony around the end of existence. Drawing on the wisdom and genius of personalities such as Edgar Morin, Elias Canetti, Fernando Pessoa, Chantal Maillard, Octavio Paz, Philippe Ariès, Antonio Machado, Alejandra Pizarnik, Norbert Elias, María Zambrano, Joan Margarit, Louis-Vincent Thomas, and a long etcetera, the author reflects on death and its many faces. The result is a singular work, which transcends any kind of morbidity and is extremely useful and enlightening for any of us.
