Te di la mano

Following the success of *Thou Shalt Not Touch*, Nuria Pérez, the author who has turned curiosity into an art form, returns with a novel about the power of writing and the risks of the digital revolution. It all begins in the Congo, in 1908, on the banks of the Maringa River. There lives Makasi, a woman invisible to many, yet capable of embracing a dream that is both simple and enormous: to make her voice travel far and wide, like the voices of the characters in the books that accompany her. Her strong spirit will endure through generations and reach our own time, after a journey marked by everything her land has given us: from the rubber that powered the first automobiles, to the copper that electrified the world, and the cobalt that underpins today's technology. Makasi's dream will thus emerge from the forests of Kasai and reach Soviet communal houses, the outskirts of Milan, the Irish coast, and the skyscrapers of London. Thanks to her, we will discover that, although this story may seem distant, it is actually very much connected to our own.
