A cult novel for many years, La insolación now shines in full light.

A novel that explores the sea of adolescence, by the author of Nada.

La insolación is the story of a friendship and a dazzling experience. In the summers of his fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen years, Martín Soto must face his own sensitivity, in the midst of adolescent turmoil. In communion with nature, under the blinding sunlight and the white heat haze, the contours of reality tremble and fade. The encounter with the unique characters that populate the story—especially the strange Corsi family, extravagantly independent against the stuffy surrounding society—bursts into his life with unexpected emotions and adventures. Naive, he does not realize that an explosive situation is unfolding around him. The awakening will be painful. He is no longer a child. Faced with solitude, a new horizon opens up.
