Cristina Sanz Ruiz explores how, upon losing language and humanistic reference points, the animal essence of the human being emerges. The collection of poems culminates with verses by Salinas, where the work is reconstructed from that void, offering a profound reflection on the fragility and resilience of the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book narrates, through poetry, the process of cognitive and emotional deterioration caused by Alzheimer's. It is not limited to describing the disease but delves into the human capacities that vanish: memory, language, and identity. As these pillars crumble, the work reveals what remains: the animal essence, stripped of cultural artifices. In a final twist, the verses of Salinas act as a turning point, where poetry is reconstructed from loss, transforming degradation into an act of creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlzheimer's as a process of dehumanization and loss of identity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between language, culture, and the animal essence of the human being.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe degradation of memory and the fragility of the human condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetic reconstruction from void and absence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in contemporary poetry that addresses existential and social themes.
