«El hombre que cayó a la Tierra» is the science fiction novel by Walter Tevis, published by Ediciones Orbis in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Thomas Jerome Newton, a humanoid alien from Anthea, arrives on Earth with the mission of building a spacecraft to transport the survivors of his devastated planet. His superior intelligence allows him to succeed and become rich, but his fragility, melancholy and contact with humans pose unexpected difficulties.

For readers of classic science fiction who appreciate an existentialist and melancholic approach to the encounter with the alien.
