Cuando solo queda aire : Aprender a morir es aprender a vivir

At the age of thirty-six, and on the verge of completing a decade of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. He went from being a doctor treating critical cases to a patient fighting for his life. In this deeply affirmative book, Kalanithi reflects on the meaning of life as he confronts death. What makes life worth living? How does one face the absence of a future? What does it mean to have a child—to nurture a new life—while one's own is fading away? These are some of the profound questions raised in this deeply moving memoir, which has captivated millions of readers around the world. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015 while working on this book, but his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. *When Breath Becomes Air* is an unforgettable reflection and an affirmation of life in the face of the unfathomable challenge of death.
