Description:
Sándor Lester is exiled in a cold European city where he leads a lonely and monotonous life. He is immersed in an alienating routine at the factory where he works, he spends his free time writing, hanging out with people in the same situation as him or in the company of Yolande, a woman he doesn't love. Until the day he meets Line, a new factory employee who comes from his country. Although she is married and has a young daughter, Sándor falls in love with the newcomer and a bond between the two emerges, as intimate and essential as it is painful and destructive.

"Ayer todo era más bello la música en los árboles el viento en mi pelo y en tus manos tendidas el sol" "En general, me contento con escribir dentro de mi cabeza. Es más fácil. En la cabeza todo se desarrolla sin dificultad. Pero, en cuanto se escribe, los pensamientos se transforman, se deforman, y todo se vuelve falso" "Ve donde la gente es feliz, porque no conocen el amor. Están tan satisfechos que ya no se necesitan los unos a los otros ni a Dios. Por la noche cierran la puerta con doble vuelta de llave y esperan con paciencia a que se pase la vida". Ante tanto talento para poner en palabras lo que escribe Kristoff en la cabeza, de momento siento que ante cualquier intento de comentario agregado "los pensamientos se transforman, se deforman, y todo se vuelve falso" Otra excelente obra de Agota Kristoff.
