«Un ser de lejanías» is a diary by Francisco Umbral, published by Planeta in hardcover (221 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from Heidegger's phrase «el hombre es un ser de lejanías», Francisco Umbral reflects on death and the passage of time as a distancing from things and from oneself. Parties, tasks and everyday customs become settings from which he contemplates his own biography and the growing distance towards what once was.
It is a volume in the Diaries series by Francisco Umbral, published by Planeta in 2001. The back cover associates it with the Spanish and Ibero-American Authors collection.
For fans of Francisco Umbral and for readers of contemporary Spanish literature interested in autobiographical reflection.
