Albert Espinosa (b. 1973) is a new bright name in modern Spanish literature. Readers and critics call his fiction highly intelligent and exciting at the same time. He has been compared to Fernando Marias and Arturo Perez-Reverte. They say about his works that, under the thin skin of everyday life, passions worthy of epics rage in them, and unusual combinations of symbols are crowded together. His literary debut, the book “The Yellow World” (2008), went through 25 editions and inspired S. Spielberg to create a film. The story “Everything that you and I could become if we weren’t you and me” conquered Europe and was translated into five languages. Published in Russian for the first time. REVEAL YOUR KNOWLEDGE SECRET? FEEL WHAT'S ON YOUR SOUL? WHO WE REALLY ARE TO EACH OTHER? DO YOU WANT TO BE THE MANAGER OF YOUR OWN LIFE? The hero of this story is called Marcos. The invisible connection with his mother is for him the most mysterious and strongest in the world. But his mother, adored and talented, dies, and for Marcos this turns out to be worse than the end of the world. At the same time, the orphaned Marcos looks soberly and skeptically at others’ addiction to illusions, sadly noticing how many people around are hiding from real life in the world of illusory dreams. He himself is so afraid of ghostly dreams that he is ready not to sleep at all, even to try on himself a new drug that deprives a person of sleep so that he “gains more time for a full life.” But how will a mind that cannot live without sleep react to this? And what is the fullness of life for him?
