La vida de l'altre

The disappearance under strange circumstances of Álvaro Stein, a millionaire who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, is the end of one story and the beginning of another. Two stories in which fear and hope, greed and envy, death and also love come together. Its fast-paced plot, which takes us from Brazil and Costa Rica to the beaches of the Mediterranean, forms an intrigue in which nothing is what it seems and nobody is who they think they are. With The Life of the Other, a surprising novel that draws on thrillers and philosophy, Gabriel Marat explores the disturbing limits of identity and makes us ask ourselves -as the thinker John Locke did- if throughout our lives we can be more than one person.
