The tender and moving novella from the author of A Man Called Ove
and Anxious People'I read this beautifully imagined and moving
novella in one sitting, utterly wowed, wanting to share it with
everyone I know' Lisa Genova, New York Times bestselling author of
Still Alice Grandpa and Noah are sitting on a bench in a square
that keeps getting smaller every day. The square is strange but
also familiar, full of the odds and ends that have made up their
lives: Grandpa's work desk, the stuffed dragon that Grandpa once
gave to Noah, the sweet-smelling hyacinths that Grandma loved to
grow in her garden. As they wait together on the bench, they tell
jokes and discuss their shared love of mathematics.Grandpa recalls
what it was like to fall in love with his wife, what it was like to
lose her. She's as real to him now as the first day he met her, but
he dreads the day when he won't remember her. Sometimes Grandpa
sits on the bench next to Ted, Noah's father - Ted who never liked
maths, prefers writing and playing guitar, and has waited his
entire life for his father to have time for him, to accept him.But
in their love of Noah, they have found a common bond. Grandpa,
Grandma, Ted, and Noah all meet here, in this peculiar space that
is growing dimmer and more confusing all the time. And here is
where they will learn to say goodbye, the scent of hyacinths in the
air, nothing to fear.'Winsome, bittersweet...Wise and
heartbreaking, Backman's slim novella celebrates the joy of
connecting even in the midst of letting go' People Magazine

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
