Overview

PREMIO NADAL 2026.

Por el autor de La península de las casas vacías.

3.ª EDICIÓN

«Su porvenir ya es más grande que su pasado. La ciudad de las luces muertas es una delicia literaria.» Juan Cruz

«Me ha gustado una barbaridad. Un desfile de personajes para mí muy entrañables y ya desaparecidos.» Eduardo Mendoza

«No solo es un homenaje a Barcelona, sino a la libertad de la imaginación. Un encuentro caótico y genial. Me hizo gozar de principio a fin.» Gioconda Belli

«Uclés juega con el multiverso. Leí el libro con mucha nostalgia por ver lo que fue Barcelona.» Pepa Ferenández, RNE

«Ha sido toda una experiencia la lectura, me he metido a fondo en una Barcelona surrealista. He disfrutado el viaje compartiendo la aventura con mi madre, Carmen Laforet.» Cristina Cerezales Laforet

Todo empieza en la Barcelona de posguerra, cuando una joven provoca accidentalmente un fenómeno que sume a la ciudad en una oscuridad total.

La luz se va en Barcelona todo un día, la solar y la artificial. Solo sobreviven una sutil claridad que nadie sabe de dónde procede y el resplandor del fuego. Las Barcelonas que han existido convergen y se superponen en el mismo lugar: reaparecen edificios desaparecidos y surgen otros del futuro. En ese territorio donde conviven tiempos y miradas que jamás debían coincidir, la ciudad queda desbordada por todas sus épocas.

El suceso provocará que un puñado de escritores y artistas vuelvan a la vida y se crucen en encuentros improbables. Así, Picasso hará llorar a Simone Weil, y Cortázar retratará a Laforet; Gaudí barnizará a los transeúntes; Bolaño se adelantará a su muerte; García Márquez huirá en una barca y George Orwell protegerá a Montserrat Caballé, Núria Espert y Jordi Savall de los proyectiles de la guerra. En medio de esta ruptura del tiempo, un fotógrafo capaz de revelar con su cámara lo que aún no ha ocurrido y muchos otros personajes unirán sus artes para intentar comprender qué ha pasado y cómo recuperar la luz perdida.

En su nueva novela, David Uclés construye un relato en el que la palabra, la pintura, la música y la escena actúan como la conciencia profunda de la sociedad; son ellas las que pueden iluminarla cuando todo parece perderse.

Una historia deslumbrante, de un autor tan innovador como único, que recuerda que la luz regresa cuando alguien se atreve a imaginarla.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NADAL PRIZE 2026.

By the author of La península de las casas vacías.

3rd EDITION

“His future already outshines his past. La ciudad de las luces muertas is pure literary delight.” Juan Cruz

“I loved it immensely. A parade of characters, deeply endearing to me, now vanished.” Eduardo Mendoza

“Not only a tribute to Barcelona, but to the freedom of imagination. Chaotic, brilliant, and a joy from start to finish.” Gioconda Belli

“Uclés plays with the multiverse. I read it with deep nostalgia for the Barcelona that once was.” Pepa Ferenández, RNE

“An extraordinary reading experience. I immersed myself in a surreal Barcelona and shared the journey with my mother, Carmen Laforet.” Cristina Cerezales Laforet

It all begins in postwar Barcelona, when a young woman accidentally triggers a phenomenon that plunges the city into total darkness.

For one entire day, Barcelona loses both solar and artificial light. Only a subtle glow of unknown origin and the flicker of fire remain. All Barcelonas that ever existed converge and overlap in the same place: vanished buildings reappear, and others from the future emerge. In this territory where times and perspectives collide, the city is overwhelmed by all its eras.

The event brings back a handful of writers and artists, crossing paths in improbable encounters. Picasso makes Simone Weil weep, Cortázar portrays Laforet; Gaudí varnishes passersby; Bolaño races ahead of his death; García Márquez escapes by boat, and George Orwell shields Montserrat Caballé, Núria Espert, and Jordi Savall from the war’s projectiles. Amid this rupture of time, a photographer able to capture what has not yet happened, along with many others, join forces to understand what occurred and how to recover the lost light.

In his new novel, David Uclés weaves a narrative where words, painting, music, and theater act as the deep conscience of society—arts that can illuminate when everything seems lost.

A dazzling story from an author as innovative as he is unique, reminding us that light returns when someone dares to imagine it.
