El campo

Synopsis of El campo

In 'The Field', Robert Seethaler presents us with a choral novel that explores the emotions and essence of life through the voices of those who are no longer with us. Set in the Paulstadt cemetery, the story follows old Harry Stevens, who listens to the conversations of the dead as he reflects on life and death. Through twenty-nine deceased characters, Seethaler builds a moving panorama of feelings, lives and passions, offering an ode to life with intensity and beauty. This work, translated by Ana Guelbenzu de San Eustaquio, is an impressive picture of human coexistence through distinct but intertwined lives.
