«Una aventura inesperada. Una sutil telaraña de historias y palabras que fascina y envuelve, que te atrapa inadvertidamente, como le ocurre al niño que escucha boquiabierto un bello cuento. Un debut poderoso e inolvidable». --Rosa Montero
«Uno sale de su casa, cuenta historias, ríe y descorcha botellas de vino con quien accede a acompañarle. Así pasan los días, hasta que vemos nuestro reflejo en otros ojos. Las miradas de los demás son espejos que no cabe desestimar».
En un viaje nocturno en tren entre Londres y Edimburgo una mujer comparte trayecto con dos desconocidos con los que mantiene una conversación sobre sus respectivas vidas. Uno de ellos habla de su ambigua relación con un joven que le confesó una infancia difícil que marcó su vida. Poco tiempo después el hombre escribió una novela que se parecía demasiado a ese episodio. ¿Es ético escribir sobre lo que nos cuentan en privado? ¿Cuáles son los límites de la ficción? Esta historia cautiva a la protagonista y aviva sus propios recuerdos, así como la necesidad de saber qué pasó realmente con estos dos desconocidos. Nada más ilusorio indaga en los relatos que nos contamos, en el papel de la literatura y en la sutil línea que separa lo real de lo ficticio, y nos brinda una envolvente narración de traiciones, pérdidas y culpa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A novel about the dangerous power of storytelling.
An unstoppable literary phenomenon with rights sold in eight countries even before it was published.
"We go out, tell stories, laugh, and uncork bottles of wine with whoever agrees to be our companion. And so, the days go by, until we see our reflection in others' eyes. The gaze of others is a mirror we shouldn't underestimate." On a nighttime train journey between London and Edinburgh, a woman and two strangers pass the time by talking about their lives. One man recalls his ambiguous relationship with a young man who confided in him about his difficult childhood and its effect on his life. Not long after, the man wrote a novel that closely resembled this episode. Is it ethical to write about other people's private confessions? The protagonist of Pérez-Carbonell's novel is fascinated by this question, which compels her to examine her own memories and find out what really happened between the two men. Nothing Is More Illusive questions the stories we tell, the role of literature, and the fine line that separates reality from fiction while weaving an evolving narrative of betrayal, loss and guilt.

PURPLE SAUCONY's BOYS KID SIZE 6
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Plum/White, Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Plum/White
Nice, light and comfy though a bit hard no cushion but good if your kid runs through sneakers roughly....I hope! good that I had a discount applied otherwise these would go back due to if it would survive everyday wear and tear. Color is true to compare and size is true Boys kids 6. Consider how your child or grandchild will wear them!
Update: sneaker is not water proof. Seems like a knock off because the bottom color of the souls are off and the two colors are off and distorted but as for comfort ok and it's not cushioned so be aware especially if your child needs support and comfort and dry feet!

Sleek and comfy!
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Black
My daughter is hard on shoes and doesn't like to clean them. These paired well with her school uniform and are very durable and easy to clean and comfortable! Proud I purchased them. I was skeptical about the look at 1st,but they ended up being pretty sleek, simple, and classy for a kid! Not to blah and not too flashy. And if you know what you know about the Saucony,this was a popular throwback that still serves today! Glad they are still in business! These kids don't know what they got with these!
