Ten years have passed since the disappearance of the country of Sakau and the creation of Askayala, a federation of free peoples. The tension has not dissipated, however, because the threat of invasion by an international alliance is still very much alive. It is customary for the initial front of any potential war to lean towards information warfare, in which the stakes are high. In this situation, Lore and Fabi must face their new daily life, between contradictions, misunderstandings and half-spoken words. Meanwhile, in the neighbouring country of Costa Alegre, which represents hope for some and a threat for others, Jaco and Jacinto are fully aware of this. These are the four main characters, and the fifth represents society itself, with its renewed structures, models and architecture. A utopia. An invitation to common sense, which can be stimulating and fair, sprinkled with a magical realism which is so intrinsic to the Latin American tradition.
Asel Luzarraga was born in 1971 in Bilbao (Bizkaia, Basque Country).
He has a degree in Commerce and Basque Letters. After teaching for several years, he is now a professional translator. The publication in 2003 of Hamaika ispilu ganbil (Labayru) and obtaining the 6th Igartza scholarship pushed him to take writing seriously. Thereafter, he published the Basque-language novels Karonte, Mozorroaren xarma, Abaraska, Utopiaren itzalak, Gezurra odoletan, Inoren munduan, Bioklik, Bahiketa, Uzta garaia, Malthusen ezinegona, Katuak jandakoa, Esan gabe doa and Lurrean haziak. He has also published two collections of poetry: Denboran zatika and Bazter hautsiak. He has worked not only in the field of literature but also music, within the framework of the projects Punkamine, Trio Ternura, GorriBaltz and Analgy. After living in Chile and Argentina, he now resides in Bermeo (Bizkaia).
