He's left behind his life in Berlin, which it turns out wasn't much--an ex-girlfriend, a neighborhood that had become too trendy for his taste. Surrounded by a desolate landscape that is scoured by surprisingly cold winds (not at all what he expected of southern Spain), he faces his daily failures: to connect with the innkeeper or any of the townsfolk, who all seem to be hiding something; to learn Spanish; to keep warm; to write. At last he succeeds in making an unlikely connection with one of the village's many feral cats. Does the cat have a message for him? And will their tenuous relationship be enough to turn his life around?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With sharp intelligence and wry humor, Eugen Ruge's \u003ci\u003eCabo de Gata\u003c\/i\u003e proposes the biggest questions and illustrates how achieving happiness sometimes means giving oneself up to the foreign and the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49585926177041,"sku":"GOR009315311","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49651640107281,"sku":"GOR012920170","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/155597757X.jpg?v=1750925521","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/cabo-de-gata-book-eugen-ruge-9781555977573","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
