Synopsis "Umbilical / Cord Blood (in Spanish)"

El conmovedor relato de la gestación de un padre, por el ganador del premio Alfaguara 2009 «Encantado, hijo mío, de empezar a la vez a ser lo que seremos .Un hombre aguarda el nacimiento de su hijo. Asiste fascinado a la gestación junto a la madre, imagina a ese ser que vendrá a revolucionar su casa, su lenguaje, su pareja y su propia historia familiar. A lo largo de un año memorable, el hombre narra los primeros compases de una existencia nueva: la suya como padre junto a la madre y el hijo, tres personajes de una historia universal que encuentra palabras recién nacidas. Umbilical es un relato lírico cuyas búsquedas resuenan tanto en el plano íntimo como en el colectivo. Sus reflexiones sobre la experiencia de la paternidad sitúan a la masculinidad frente al milagro de la vida y su incesante relectura del presente, en una época de redefinición de los roles, aceptando así la invitación de la poeta Anne Waldman que encabeza estas páginas: «Que los hombres detengan su alboroto / frente a la maravilla del bebé . Pero es también, y sobre todo, una declaración de amor. El libro más íntimo de un autor fundamental disponible en el catálogo para lectores de todo el mundo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The moving story of a man becoming a father, written by the winner of the 2009 Alfaguara Award. «I am delighted that we are together, my son, becoming what we will both be. A man awaits his son's birth. Captivated, he follows the mother's pregnancy, imagining the child that will transform his house, his language, his relationship, and his family history. For a year, he annotates the memorable first steps leading the three of them into these new existential situations: being a father, a mother, a son; three different characters in a universal story, told in newly born words. Cord Blood is a lyrical tale that resonates both on intimate and collective levels. Its understanding of fatherhood faces masculinity with the miracle of life and its incessant rereading of the present. In a time that redefines traditionally attributed roles, Cord Blood accepts Anne Waldman's invitation: «Tell the man to give up tumult for the while / To wonder at the sight of baby's beauty. But it is also, and above all, a love statement. The most intimate journal, from a fundamental author, available for readers from all over the world.
