New edition of the emblematic work by Ángela Becerra, a prominent author in the genre of feelings. 'El penúltimo sueño' narrates an intense first love between Joan Dolgut and Soledad Urdaneta in interwar Europe, evoking Romeo and Juliet. Joan, exiled from Spain after the Civil War, works as a waiter in Cannes, while Soledad is the daughter of a Colombian millionaire staying at the hotel. Despite social barriers, their love blossoms thanks to Joan's skill with the piano, but the conventions of the time threaten their dream of eternal love, turning their lives into a constant longing that will only be resolved at the end of their days with a surprising ending.
