Contra el món

An inconceivable cataclysm makes the Serra de Tramuntana de Mallorca disappear. But the world goes on and, despite everything, so does most of the island's population, which faces a reconstruction as wild as it is chimerical. Beyond whether this will mean the irreversible undoing of Mallorca, three friends - a painter, a former manager of the hotel sector and an environmental activist - will see how the catastrophe also brings their lives and contradictions to the limit. Allegorical and realistic, tragic and sarcastic, intimate and universal, Contra el món is Pere Antoni Pons' most lucidly ambitious novel: a story of upheaval lives that brims with vitality and which is, at the same time, a powerful portrait of our time
