Overview
Aquellos que han vivido con un perro saben que su presencia aligera los días y los llena de felicidad. Amigos fieles, cariñosos e inteligentes, cada instante a su lado supone una lección de todo lo que merece la pena ser aprendido.
Es posible rastrear el especial vínculo entre perros y hombres desde el principio de los tiempos, pero uno de los ejemplos más hermosos y emocionantes lo encontramos en la Odisea. Cuando Ulises alcanza al fin las costas de Ítaca, exhausto tras largos años vagando en el mar, el único que lo reconoce es Argos, su leal perro, que todo ese tiempo lo ha recordado y esperado para su último reencuentro.
Julia Navarro también tuvo que despedirse de su inseparable Argos, un precioso pastor alemán con el que había compartido alegría y horas de escritura. Mucho más que un libro de duelo, Cuando ellos se van es el emotivo homenaje lleno de amor y ternura que Julia Navarro rinde ―a través de la Literatura, el Arte, el Cine y la Historia― a esos generosos compañeros que nos cuidan, quieren y protegen durante toda su vida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPCIÓN
“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.
