Summary
Jordi Punti: The Lost Baggage
Christof, Christophe, Christopher and Cristofol are four brothers, sons of four mothers, who live in the four corners of Europe and until recently did not know about each other. They were even less familiar with the thread that connects them: the life and fate of Gabriel Delacruz, a passionate card player and elusive truck driver, a father who abandoned them and about whom they had not heard a word for twenty years.
Until one day; until now.
Where did Gabriel go and what happened to him? Why did he leave them one by one and why did he give them the same name? And why do they think he had a hand even in this meeting, in this unexpected family photo without his father? The search on which Cristofori follows the trail of his trucker father in Jordi Puntí's brilliant road novel will not only lead us to Frankfurt, Paris, London and Barcelona, but will also open up other maps: foggy maps of time, maps of love, friendship and family relations drawn with humor and warmth. The highway of life.
The Lost Luggage of one of the most important contemporary Catalan writers is a triumph of storytelling, wisdom and optimism, a novel that you will take with you wherever and whenever you travel.
