Publisher Description

Martin Santomé, viudo con tres hijos en vísperas de su jubilación, comienza a registrar en un diario íntimo su vida gris y sin relieve. La vida cotidiana de la rutina oficinesca y la de un hogar desunido y crispado se verán alteradas cierto día, cuando irrumpe en su opaca existencia la joven Laura Avellaneda, nueva empleadaa sus órdenes. Y ese cincuentón, hombre mediano pero no mediocre, consciente de sus límites y su desgana, decide abrir, casí sin proponérselo, un paréntesis luminoso.

    " my first benedetti book...though I love his poetry. Aside from the fact that he's retiring at 50 (estos funcionarios!), very clear and thoughtful narrative, a la Delibes, one of my favorite authors. "

    " Triste, melancólica y buena en su momento. La Tregua nos invita a buscar un poco a esas heroínas literarias cuyo gran mérito es sólo estar con el protagonista, al estilo de la Maga de Cortázar, Laura Avellaneda se hace presente para grabarse en la memoria. "

    " Benedetti is one of my favorite writers but I did not like this book. It's very similar to Sartre's Nausea and it's not my favorite type of book. Too depressing. It's best to enjoy Benedetti in poems. that was his strength. "

    " Mario Benedetti nunca me convenció como poeta... Yo creo que la gran poesía es apolitica, pero sin dudar es un importante narrador, la tregua es un buen ejemplo de ejecución literaria, una de las primeras novelas en forma de diario que leí. "
