In 'Cementerio de pianos', José Luís Peixoto transports us to a timeless Lisbon, where the characters live, dream, and die. In the heart of a carpentry workshop lies a piano cemetery, a place where instruments, like the beings around them, have stopped working and are suspended between life and death. Father and son narrate their experiences from different eras, revealing the family history in a language of lights and shadows, silences and laughter, fears and hopes. They recount urgent and inevitable love stories, where abandonment and violence are redeemed by tenderness and affection. They speak of death, not as an end, but as the renewal from one generation to another.
José Luís Marques Peixoto is a Portuguese author, poet and playwright. A professional writer since 2001, his works have been translated into more than 30 languages.
