Cuando Ellos Se Van / Once They're Gone

Aquellos que han vivido con un perro saben que su presencia aligera los d燰s y los llena de felicidad. Amigos fieles, cari隳sos e inteligentes, cada instante a su lado supone una lecci鏮 de todo lo que merece la pena ser aprendido.

Es posible rastrear el especial v璯culo entre perros y hombres desde el principio de los tiempos, pero uno de los ejemplos m嫳 hermosos y emocionantes lo encontramos en la Odisea. Cuando Ulises alcanza al fin las costas de 疘aca, exhausto tras largos a隳s vagando en el mar, el ico que lo reconoce es Argos, su leal perro, que todo ese tiempo lo ha recordado y esperado para su timo reencuentro.

Julia Navarro tambi幯 tuvo que despedirse de su inseparable Argos, un precioso pastor alem嫕 con el que hab燰 compartido alegr燰 y horas de escritura. Mucho m嫳 que un libro de duelo, Cuando ellos se van es el emotivo homenaje lleno de amor y ternura que Julia Navarro rinde ―a trav廥 de la Literatura, el Arte, el Cine y la Historia― a esos generosos compa鎑ros que nos cuidan, quieren y protegen durante toda su vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPCI粍

"There is no animal more loyal than a dog. You can count on them until death. They give you everything in exchange for nothing."

Anyone who has lived with a dog knows that their presence makes each day happier and easier to bear. Loyal friends, affectionate and intelligent - every moment at their side offers lessons worth learning.

The special bond between dogs and humans can be traced back to the beginning of time, but one of the most memorable examples is found in the Odyssey. When Ulysses finally reaches the shores of Ithaca, exhausted after three long years lost at sea, the only one who recognizes him is Argos, his loyal hound, who has waited and pined for him until this final encounter.

Julia Navarro also had to say goodbye to an Argos, a loving German shepherd who brought her joy and was her inseparable companion during her hours of writing. This book, however, does much more than chronicle her grief; drawing from literature, art, film and history, it is a moving tribute to those generous companions who care for, love and protect us their whole lives.
