After some literary vacations, Jordi Querol returns with these reflections about old age. At eighty-two, it is not surprising that he has thought about and reconsidered this question, but what has impressed me most about this excellent book is not what the author explains to us about old age, but the way in which he experiences it. It is fascinating to confirm the passion that Jordi Querol puts into everything he does. This book is an extraordinary lesson, a guide to how the distinct stages of our life should be accepted.
