«El tiempo regalado» is the literary essay by Andrea Köhler on waiting, published by Libros del Asteroide in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the premise that waiting is inevitable —in the doctor's office, in the queue, or before a promise—, the author explores passages of Western literature and thought to vindicate waiting as a fundamental human experience. These intervals allow us to value the past and shape the future; immediate gratification leaves dissatisfaction.
Volume 193 of the Libros del Asteroide collection. Translated from German by Cristina García Ohlrich, with an epilogue by Gregorio Luri. Original title: «Lange Weile. Über das Warten».
For readers of essays and philosophy interested in time, waiting, and the critique of the accelerated pace of modern life.
