«La pérdida de la imagen o Por la Sierra de Gredos» is the novel by Peter Handke, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (568 pages, in Spanish).
A businesswoman living in a river port in northeastern Europe travels to Valladolid and crosses the Sierra de Gredos on foot in search of a village where a writer hired to narrate her story awaits her. In that imaginary place, the inhabitants have lost images, ideas, rites and dreams, victims of a world marked by climate change, wars and the media. The novel criticises today's society and the uniformity generated by the media, in a story about lost and rediscovered enthusiasm.
It belongs to the Alianza Literaria collection (number 3472095). Translation from German by Eustaquio Barjau Riu. First edition, published on 15 February 2003.
