On the volcanic island of Colúmbano, two men in decline share chess and memories between a fishing pier and a ruined palace. The arrival of Venecia, who seeks the man who charmed her mother, breaks that balance and triggers a turbulent ending in which the volcano awakens.
It is Alberto Jodra's first novel, published in the «Albatros. A» collection; it received the fifteenth Tiflos Prize for Fiction.
