Description
Notebook of Lost Dreams
Book Summary
An introspective journey into childhood memories, where the author confronts the emotional distance that time has imposed on his early years. Through an intimate and personal lens, Alberto Álvarez Pérez reconstructs moments, sensations, and experiences that make up the map of his memory. This work invites the reader to reflect on the fragility of the past and the value of dreams that, even if lost, continue to dwell within us.
What is it about?
The book stems from a personal revelation during a birthday, when the author becomes aware of how remote and distant his own childhood has become. From that moment on, he begins a process of reconstructing those years, exploring how memories are transformed with the passage of time. Halfway between autobiography and existential reflection, the text covers episodes that the author used to recall with a jovial and festive tone, but which now appear in a new light, deeper and more melancholic. The work not only delves into the past but also examines how memory shapes our present identity.
