«De los intentos de permanecer quieto» is Jenny Diski's travel book, published by Circe Ediciones in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
«De los intentos de permanecer quieto» covers three very different settings: New Zealand, the English countryside and the Arctic Circle. Jenny Diski combines British humor, reportorial agility and personal meditation to reflect on stillness and the human condition, going beyond the travel narrative.
The book is part of Circe's Narrativa collection and features a translation by Aurora Echevarría Pérez. The first edition was published in March 2007.
It is a book intended for readers of contemporary fiction and travel writing who appreciate personal reflection.
