«La vida en el abismo» is the novel by Spanish writer Ferran Torrent, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (192 pages, in Spanish).
A rebellious and bewildered young man meets El Rubio in a card game, a professional gambler who opens the doors to a world of sensuality, risk and freedom, outside the norms of a society that had reserved a grey future for him. The novel is both a journey of initiation and a reflection on gambling as part of the human condition.
The original title of the work is «La vida en l'abisme». The novel was nominated for the Premio Planeta in 2004.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in coming-of-age stories and the figure of the gambler.
