«Qué habría ocurrido si aquel día lejano de mi infancia no hubiera regresado al sótano por el mismo agujero por el que había salido de él. Tal vez la vida hubiera mantenido siempre aquel brillo o aquella fiebre».

«Hay libros que, al modo del automóvil que se salta un semáforo, se cruzan violentamente en tu existencia. Este es de los que se saltan el semáforo --explica Millás--. Me habían encargado un reportaje sobre mí mismo, de forma que comencé a seguirme. Un día me dije: "Mi padre tenía un taller de aparatos de electromedicina". Entonces se me apareció el taller, conmigo y con mi padre dentro. Él estaba probando un bisturí eléctrico sobre un filete. De súbito, me dijo: "Fíjate, Juanjo, cauteriza la herida en el momento mismo de producirla". Comprendí que la escritura, como el bisturí, cicatrizaba las heridas en el instante de abrirlas e intuí por qué era escritor. Acababa de ser arrollado por una novela».

Ganadora del Premio Nacional de Narrativa y del Premio Planeta, alabada por la crítica y los lectores, El mundo narra con maestría el tránsito a la vida adulta de un adolescente, pero también el descubrimiento de una manera original e imaginativa de observar y entender la realidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"What would have happened if on that distant childhood day I hadn't gone back to the basement through the same hole I had crawled out from? Maybe life would have forever kept that same glow, or that fever."

"There are books that, same as a car running a red light, violently cross your path. This is one of those books that run a red light," explains Millás. "I had been assigned to write a story about myself, so I began following me. One day I said to myself, 'My father had a store of electro-medical equipment.' And then the shop appeared before me, with me and my father inside. He was testing an electric scalpel on a steak. Suddenly, he said, 'Look, Juanjo, it cauterizes the wound as it opens it.' I understood that writing, just like that scalpel, cauterizes wounds while it opens them, and I knew why I was a writer. I had just been run over by a novel."

Winner of both the National Narrative Award and the Premio Planeta, praised by critics and readers alike, The World masterfully describes the transition of a teenage boy to adult life, but also the discovery of an original and imaginative way to observe and understand reality.

Perfect if you're anything like me
Color: White, Size: 2 Layer
I have about 20 small jewelry boxes sitting in my closet, stacked up high, threatening to topple over any time I reach over them to grab something else. I don't know what's in those boxes, except that it's jewelry I purchased and liked well enough to keep so that I could wear it again. But since all of the pieces are closed up inside, I almost never wear them because I don't want to dig through all 20 boxes to find the 1 thing I want when I'm already almost late to wherever I'm going. If ANY of that sounds anything like you, you need this jewelry box. Is it the most premium thing you've ever seen? No, but does it have a lot of storage space for a pretty compact form factor and hold a ton of stuff? Yes, it totally does. And is the price super reasonable? Yes, it is. And if you kind of squint at it, and look through softer eyes, it doesn't really matter that yes, this is kind of cheaply constructed, and the dividers do move around a little bit because they're not anchored to the sides of the trays. I was able to consolidate all of those jewelry boxes down into this one box, and I no longer need to hold my breath when I try to grab something over the top of the pile because I was able to throw. them. all. out! The satisfaction of purging my own personal leaning tower of Pisa was worth the price alone. But onto the nitty gritty details: yes, the see-through part is acrylic and not glass. I'm okay with that because I don't need more breakable things sitting in my closet. Yes, the dividers aren't super stable. I'm okay with that because they work well enough and keep each piece where it belongs. Yes, it's pleather (aka "vegan leather"). I'm okay with that because I don't need cow hide to hold my jewelry to make it feel more precious, especially because most of my jewelry is pretty inexpensive stuff anyways. I don't notice any glaring cosmetic defects when looking at it, aside from the one very squiggly scratch in my acrylic top that doesn't bother me too much, but since it does mean that quality control may be a bit lacking, this gets a very solid 4 stars.

Elegant Jewelry Box
Color: Pink, Size: 2 Layer, Color: Pink, Size: 2 Layer
Very stylish and elegant jewelry box suitable for your jewelry needs. I needed something for my extensive jewelry collection. I use this for my everyday jewelry, and it works perfectly. I chose the two-tier jewelry box, and I love how sturdy it is. You can put a lot in the box without it being overcrowded. The blush color gives it a soft look, but also the compartments on the inside are soft as well. It is of good quality and a value for what you get.
