PAJARO SIN VUELO

Ismael Cieza is incapable of making important decisions or undertaking any significant actions as seen in the opening lines of the novel: "The morning that Ismael Cieza realized he could not tie his necktie, was when he knew that his life was getting to the point fugitives reach when they turn themselves in because they no longer have the strength to keep running."
Ismael suffers from a constant sense of loss, haunted by unfulfilled dreams and a long life of accumulated burdens. But as he overcomes his tendency toward apathy, Ismael faces a startling revelation.

A modern day version and tribute to the Russian classic, Oblomov. Philosophical and humurous at moments this is a mature reflection on the fragility of emotion in the face of the ideas that are supposed to rule our lives.
