Agustí and Elvira, an elderly couple overwhelmed by age and illness, make the difficult decision to end their suffering. Aware that those around them will not approve of their plan, they prepare to carry out their purpose in the solitude of their home in the Sierra de Gredos. The story unfolds through the voices of eleven characters, offering a multifaceted look at freedom of conscience and the complex implications of such an intimate yet controversial choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work tells the story of Agustí and Elvira, two elderly people who, faced with irreversible physical deterioration, mutually decide to end their lives to avoid further suffering. They know their decision will neither be understood nor accepted by their daughter Flora, their son-in-law Daniel, or their grandchildren Pau and Mònica. Therefore, they plan a suicide in their refuge in the Sierra de Gredos, far from the eyes of their loved ones. The novel is structured as a choral narrative where each of the eleven characters involved offers their perspective, their fears, their reasons, and their judgments regarding this extreme act. Far from presenting a single truth, the work explores the conflict between individual will and collective pain, compassion and taboo, and the complexity of a decision that admits no easy answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe right to a dignified death and freedom of conscience in the face of suffering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe conflict between individual autonomy and family and social expectations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAging, illness, and the loss of quality of life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe complexity of family relationships when faced with momentous decisions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe multiplicity of perspectives on the same ethical and moral dilemma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers interested in contemporary narrative that addresses ethical and existential dilemmas with depth.

The decision to structure the story through eleven different voices allows the reader to form their own opinion, steering clear of any manichaeism. Eduard Prats manages to maintain a restrained and respectful tone, avoiding sensationalism, and offers a work that, despite its length, invites long-lasting reflection. It is a recommended read for those looking for a narrative that does not shy away from moral conflicts and bets on human complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COSSETÀNIA EDICIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405093527899,"sku":"9788416342068","price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841634206.jpg?v=1781823194","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788416342068","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
