Los Ilusionistas

The Illusionists by Marcos Giralt Torrente is a personal memoir that turns into a reflection on identity, the past, and the construction of the future. Through a family story, the author explores the love, absences, and longings of his maternal grandparents, who met in 1931 and lived a relationship marked by sacrifices and the search for meaning through literature. Mixing epistolary novel, biography, and introspection, Giralt Torrente analyzes how the lives of his family members intertwine with common myths and the difficulty of adapting to reality. The result is a profound reflection on affection, memory, childhood, and inheritance, all within an autobiographical work that reveals the author's process of maturation.
