On Wednesday, February 5th , at 7:00 p.m. , in the Auditorium of the Public Library of Palencia, the presentation of the book Vibración by José Ovejero will take place. At this event, the author will talk with Cándido Abril .

In Vibración, a young couple with a little girl settle in a town in the interior of Spain that languishes next to a swamp among the remains of their dreams: a dismantled nuclear power station, unfinished housing estates, faded advertisements for a leisure city that never came to be. They intend to rebuild their lives there, but the girl feels increasingly attracted by the mysteries hidden in the swamp, while the father tries to understand a strange vibration that seems to unite the past and the present, the memory and the restlessness of those who still remain in the town. And the mother, while trying to get her life back on track, feels that there is something, beyond what is visible, that is escaping her. With these characters and those who live in the town, José Ovejero weaves together in Vibración confrontations and violence that, imperceptibly, are transmitted from generation to generation. What connects a necropolis submerged in the swamp with a cemetery in which three teenagers fight their disenchantment and loneliness? Or a prison camp with a house on fire? What unites this young man and this girl who meet at night in the deserted village? What at first seem like unconnected stories gradually become a mystery novel, which condenses, in a single place, not only a series of individual stories, but also the history of a country.

Free admission until full capacity.
