Que Me Quieres, Amor? by Manuel Rivas

Un viajante, vendedor de lencer a, espera ansioso al volante la reaparici n del hijo huido y recibe la milagrosa ayuda de un h roe del rock. El misterio de la luz de un cuadro, La lechera de Vermeer, devuelve a un escritor al regazo de la madre. Un joven cuenta su historia de amor despu s de fallecer en un atraco frustrado. Un m sico de saxo encuentra el don de la m sica en la mirada de una muchacha. Una amistad fraternal entre un escolar y un maestro anarquista, que nace de la mutua curiosidad por la vida de los animales, es destrozada por la brutalidad de 1936.

Qu me quieres, amor? Re ne diecis is relatos donde emergen la ternura y el humor como los mejores amuletos y reductos de humanidad, historias escritas con la sensaci n de quien roza con los dedos las v sceras y la piel del mundo, entre las que se encuentra La lengua de las mariposas .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Woven with the unmistakable rhythm and great sensitivity that trademarks Rivas' works, the stories contained in this book revolve around love -the love of a father that leaves to work worried about where and how his son has spent the night; the love felt for a mother, indescribably similar, to the milkmaid captured by Vermeer in 1690; the more carnal love of Cami a, with the uncomfortable presence of her dog Tarzan; or, why not?, the compassionate love the reader feels for the old professor in rural Spain in La lengua de las mariposas.
Manuel Rivas writes in the Galician language of north-west Spain. A founding member of Greenpeace Spain, he is a major figure in Spanish literature, known for his journalism, as well as for his prize-winning short stories and novels, which include the internationally acclaimed The Carpenter's Pencil. His works have been translated into20 languages.
