Overview
Perder la gracia es perder la vergüenza. Y los complejos. Y el miedo al qué dirán.
Cuatro amigos se sinceran en un momento crucial de sus carreras y nos hablan del trabajo para hablarnos de la vida.
«No existe un motor más poderoso que un tipo diciéndole a otro que dónde tomamos la última copa. Esa ensoñación de que con el alba pasará algo. Solo para los que no se rindieron antes».
Perder la gracia son cuatro amigos en una especie de sincericidio. Es perder la vergüenza. Y los complejos. Y el tiempo. Y el miedo al qué dirán. Perder la gracia es un relato sobre la vida, la carrera y las relaciones de cuatro personas con un largo recorrido profesional que se enfrentan al momento crucial de dejar de ser jóvenes valores. Con sentido del humor y un aire de confesiones sin filtros, reflexionan sobre su generación e interpelan a las que vienen detrás. ¿Qué pasa cuando uno deja de ser el más joven de su entorno? ¿Qué pasa cuando se pierde la gracia? Javier Gómez Santander, Pedro Simón, Antonio Lucas y Eduardo Madina vuelcan en este libro su vertiente más literaria y reflexiva, hablando de trabajo para hablar de la vida, conscientes de que «la gracia no es eterna. Los mundos que se van nunca lo hacen de golpe. Edificios que primero presentan una grieta milimétrica y luego otra mayor, que al cabo de los años se van venciendo. Para que en su lugar la sociedad construya algo nuevo y, en ocasiones, mejor».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A GENERATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY TIMES FOUR THAT SPEAKS FOR MANY.
To lose grace is to lose your shyness. And your self-consciousness. And the fear of what people might think.
Four friends get candid in a turning point in their careers, and talk about work to tell us about life.
“There isn’t a more powerful driving force than a guy asking another guy where to go for one last drink. That reverie that at dawn something will happen. But only for those who didn’t quit sooner.”
Lose Grace is about four friends in a sort of sincericide. It is about losing your shyness. And your self-consciousness. And time. And the fear of what people might think.
Lose Grace is a tale about the lives, careers, and relationships of four people with extensive professional experiences, confronted with the turning point of not being young talents anymore. With humor and an air of unfiltered confession, they reflect on their generation and question those who came before them. What happens when you are no longer the youngest in your environment? What happens when you lose grace?
Javier Gómez Santander, Pedro Simón, Antonio Lucas, and Eduardo Madina pour into this book their most literary and contemplative side, discussing work to talk about life, aware that “grace is not eternal. Worlds that end never do so all of a sudden. Buildings that first show a minuscule crack, then a bigger one, and as years go by come crumbling down so that society can build something new and sometimes better instead.”
