Los objetos que utilizamos cada día guardan algo de nosotros en su interior. A partir de esa premisa la escritora María José Ferrada nos propone un recorrido que comienza por una taza de café abandonada en una cocina. A medida que la lectura avanza, descubrimos que su dueño es uno de los más de 3000 chilenos que, entre 1973 y mediados de la década de los ochenta, salieron desde casas, oficinas, lugares de estudio, para nunca regresar. Un libro que nos invita a revisar nuestra historia política a partir de las pequeñas historias que quedaron inconclusas. Las imágenes de gran contenido poético, a cargo del ilustrador y diseñador español Pep Carrió, invitan al lector a una reflexión en torno a la fragilidad, la ausencia y la construcción de la memoria.



 


 

The objects we use every day keep something of us inside. From that premise, the writer María José Ferrada proposes a tour that begins with a cup of coffee abandoned in a kitchen. As the reading progresses, we discover that its owner is one of the more than 3000 Chileans who, between 1973 and the mid-1980s, left from houses, offices, places of study, never to return. A book that invites us to review our political history from the small stories that remained unfinished. The images of great poetic content, by the Spanish illustrator and designer Pep Carrió, invite the reader to reflect on the fragility, absence and construction of memory.
