هي رواية خيالية بطلها شاب من قرية البهو فريك يجد نفسه يوما في أرض لا تتعامل بالنقود كسائر البشر، وبدل ذلك وحدات الذكاء فكل عمل مقابل مال في أرضنا يعادل هناك قيمة معينة من وحدات الذكاء.
Peralbo plays jazz in Lady Bird, where Lucrezia heard him and became passionate about his music, and he fell in love with its mystery.
After a long time, the narrator meets that musician “Peralbo” again, but now he takes the name “Giacomo Dolphin” and lives a different life. What happened during these years? Why did he change his name? What is the story of the stolen painting? Is the title of the song “Lisbon,” which is repeated over and over again, the key to the mysterious past?
In the humid rainy streets, in night bars drowned in smoke, and in nights filled with blue and pink lights, and to the rhythm of jazz music, the novel’s heroes strive to understand love, music, and the secret of a city from which there is no point in escaping, because it will follow them to the ends of the world.
In this novel, which won the National Prize for Literature and the Critics' Prize in Spain, Antonio Muñoz Molina writes, with a graceful detective plot, a love poem in love with music.

Which the ancient tales of sheikhs talk about. But bad luck intervenes again and sends his friend to prison. Will he survive? What does the ancient prophecy have to do with it? Who is the “girlfriend” that he will meet, so that each of them will change the fate of the other?
