Kabul i Berlín a l'últim segon

Synopsis of Kabul i Berlín a l'últim segon

Kabul i Berlín a l'últim segon is a novel written by Joan Mas Vives, finalist of the Premi Sant Jordi 2011. The story follows three Mallorcan friends who shared childhood in the same neighborhood and have followed very different personal and professional paths: journalism, sports, and a military career. Many years later, they resume their relationship when the journalist is commissioned to write a book about the basketball club of the sports companion. Rummaging through the friend's documentation, his correspondence appears with the one who had made a military career, an adventurer who has intervened in international war conflicts and, later, has made money in hotel businesses in Mallorca. In this way, the evolution of human relations is intertwined with a vivid radiography of the conflict in the world during the turn of the century: the old 20th century that dies with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 21st century that is born with the war in Afghanistan.
