ENG: Nostalgia is that delicate balance between what happened and what could have been. It allows us to hear the echoes of a past that, although unattainable, still resonates in the corners of memory. In this novel, the protagonist receives news that immediately takes him back to his last year of school in Iquitos and the day he met Rebeca Bendayán Loayza.
A distant past (Un pasado distante) becomes, then, a story of youth and innocence, marked by constant discoveries. It reminds us of the time when we learn that pain brings us closer to our humanity and that there are people who come into our lives to cool it like a dip in the pool during the hottest afternoon of summer.

SPA: La nostalgia es ese delicado equilibrio entre lo que sucedió y lo que pudo ser. Nos permite escuchar los ecos de un pasado que, aunque inalcanzable, resuena aún en los rincones de la memoria. En esta novela, el protagonista recibe una noticia que, de inmediato, lo traslada a su último año de colegio en Iquitos y al día en que conoció a Rebeca Bendayán Loayza.
Un pasado distante se convierte, entonces, en una historia de juventud e inocencia, marcada por constantes descubrimientos. Nos recuerda la época en que aprendemos que el dolor nos acerca a nuestra humanidad y que hay personas que llegan a nuestra vida para refrescarla como un chapuzón en la piscina durante la tarde más calurosa del verano.

Un pasado distante

In the future, please link to the full webpage containing the cover and book data, not just the image file. We need to check the ISBN matches before adding or updating an entry.

Jairo Morales | 3 comments hi! I hope you're great. I am the author of this book. Thank you for uploading everything. There is just one minor update I would like to request: and is the cover.

What's the best way to change the book cover? Or maybe, is there any chance I can get the permission to upload it myself?

Javier (palchetti) | 32562 comments Cover changes are usually against GR policy. Is there any reason for requesting it?


message 5: by Jairo (new)

Jairo Morales | 3 comments Yes, it's not the final cover that was published. The title has a different font and color. Let me know if it's possible some change this time

Javier (palchetti) | 32562 comments Ok, if no copies exist with that cover then it is acceptable to do it.
I have removed the image, you may upload the correct cover from the edit book page now.
