La vida de las paredes

Synopsis of La vida de las paredes

Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of 'The Life of Walls', the first book written and illustrated by Sara Morante. This book tells the story of a large house from the early 20th century and its unique inhabitants, a community of neighbors whose lives intertwine around a staircase. Through surreal portraits framed in costumbrista realism, Morante creates a powerful dialogue between text and image, where visual and dreamlike scenes come together to narrate a common story. Photographs and paintings that come to life at night, perverse gargoyles, a starving young woman, and a woman protecting her fetus are just some of the images that populate this unusual world. With more than thirty illustrations, 'The Life of Walls' is a showcase of Sara Morante's talent at its finest.
