La memoria eres tú

La memoria eres tú

Bertrán Bas, Albert

My name is Homer and I lost my family during the war. I have crossed the Pyrenees on foot with fifteen years on my way into exile. I have grown up an orphan on the streets of Barcelona and have touched death in the prisons of Uruguay. I've had a drink with Hemingway, saluted Hitler, and made love in Franco's car. I've been shot in the back and shot in the heart. I have silenced El Molino and I was kissed by Bella Dorita. I have wielded the Sitting Bull knife. I have been where the wind dies and I have slept among lost treasures. They have shot me. I have inspired geniuses and met others. I have drunk until I fall, I have laughed until I cry, I have dreamed, I have stolen and I have killed. And I have fallen in love. Three times. All three from the same woman. This is my story. This is my odyssey. Homero is a fifteen-year-old teenager, the only child of a wealthy family in Barcelona, who is left alone during the Spanish Civil War. His life is transformed into a struggle -both internal and external- for survival, loneliness and self-discovery. While he does everything possible to track down his father, the indomitable Chloe is always present in his mind, a farmer who saved his life and who will mark it forever. Although both belong to different worlds, their lives will intertwine at different times and situations throughout a decade.
