Through stories, mirror games, and rewritings, the authors explore the mechanisms of identity, plagiarism, and lies. The result is a stimulating narrative playground where cinematic pieces are transformed into words, and adulterated images reveal uncomfortable truths. An unclassifiable work that invites the reader to question what they see and what they read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book functions as a creative laboratory in which a group of writers—including Pilar Adón, Ángel Castro Maestro, Esther García Llovet, and José Antonio Garriga Vela—freely manipulate the imaginary universes of directors Isaki Lacuesta and Manuel Martín Cuenca. Throughout its pages, the authors become doubles or plagiarists, altering scenes, characters, and motifs from both filmmakers' cinema. The work plays with the idea of falsehood, taking as a reference the image of a Japanese girl who detected lies in men's words, to construct a fragmented and elusive narrative. There is no linear plot, but rather a mosaic of texts that reflect on artistic creation, memory, and imposture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA tribute to the cinema of Isaki Lacuesta and Manuel Martín Cuenca, with references to their films and creative obsessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIdentity and the double, explored through characters who split or appropriate other lives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLying as a narrative and existential mechanism, questioning the border between truth and fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlagiarism and rewriting as forms of artistic creation and dialogue between disciplines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInterdisciplinary collaboration between literature and film, where writers appropriate images and transform them into texts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in literary experimentation, the intersection of film and narrative, and works that challenge genre conventions.

Its main achievement lies in the freedom with which the authors approach the source material, transforming the tribute into a game of appropriation and disassembly. The work does not seek to please the reader with a closed story, but rather to provoke reflection on the mechanisms of creation and perception. It may be disconcerting for those seeking conventional reading, but it is a jewel for lovers of experimentation and the crossing of artistic languages. Recommended for those who value literature as a space for exploration and risk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PÁLIDO FUEGO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406745133403,"sku":"9788494613142","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978849461314.jpg?v=1781839976","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788494613142","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
