Madrid in the eighties, and Barcelona ten years later. In these two vibrant locales, Castaways follows the relationship between Alejandra and Julio against the backdrop of these poetic urban spaces where dreams, love, and uncertainty intertwine. Drawn to one another but constantly pushed or pulled in different directions by work, family, and life, Alejandra and Julio circle in and out of each other's lives, while first denying and then coming to accept the fact that by the time they are ready to love one another, the chance has already passed. Intensely emotive and poignant, this stunning graphic novel from Laura Pérez and Pablo Monforte depicts themes of maturity, responsibility, and human connection. Available in English for the first time with translation by Silvia Perea Labayen.

Castaways

Laura Pérez

Náufragos es una expcecional novela gráfica que recrea un espacio urbano y poético en el que se entrelazan los sueños, el amor y los miedos compartidos ante un porvenir incierto. Dos sitios y dos épocas diferentes: el Madrid de los ochenta, en plena ebullición, y la Barcelona de diez años más tarde, una ciudad igualmente vibrante. Náufragos recrea la relación entre Alejandra y Julio en este espacio urbano y poético donde se entrelazan los sueños, el amor y la incertidumbre. En él compartirán experiencias y reflexiones, pero las circunstancias laborales y familiares los irán separando, pese al empeño de ambos por negar la evidencia de que sus vidas ya han tomado rumbos diferentes.
