«La vida en el abismo» is a contemporary novel by Ferran Torrent, published by Editorial Planeta in hardback (212 pages, in Spanish).
A rebellious and bewildered young man meets El Rubio, a professional gambler, during a card game; El Rubio opens up a world of sensuality, risk, freedom and transgression, far removed from the grey future awaiting him. The novel reflects on gambling as inherent to the human condition and is also a coming-of-age journey.
It was a finalist for the Premio Planeta de Novela 2004. Published in 2004, its original Catalan title is «La vida en l'abisme». It belongs to the Autores Españoles e Iberoamericanos collection.
For readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories and characters living on the edge, within contemporary Spanish fiction.
