Details: El conmovedor relato de la gestaci'on de un padre, por el ganador del premio Alfaguara 2009
<
Un hombre aguarda el nacimiento de su hijo. Asiste fascinado a la gestaci'on junto a la madre, imagina a ese ser que vendr'a a revolucionar su casa, su lenguaje, su pareja y su propia historia familiar. A lo largo de un a~no memorable, el hombre narra los primeros compases de una existencia nueva: la suya como padre junto a la madre y el hijo, tres personajes de una historia universal que encuentra palabras reci'en nacidas.

El libro m'as 'intimo de un autor fundamental disponible en el cat'alogo para lectores de todo el mundo.

The moving story of a man becoming a father, written by the winner of the 2009 Alfaguara Award.

A man awaits his son's birth. Captivated, he follows the mother's pregnancy, imagining the child that will transform his house, his language, his relationship, and his family history.

Its understanding of fatherhood faces masculinity with the miracle of life and its incessant rereading of the present. In a time that redefines traditionally attributed roles, Cord Blood accepts Anne Waldman's invitation: <
The most intimate journal, from a fundamental author, available for readers from all over the world.
