SINOPSIS La niña Isabel tan solo había vivido alrededor de un tercio de su vida; incluso así, acabó descabezada entre épocas sumamente enfrentadas. A ese primer tramo de su vida, moviéndose entre estrellas brillantes y agujeros negros, lo bautizo como MI PIEL. La nueva Jezabel de la presente etapa vive y sufre sinsabores en forma implacable, sin mas apoyo que su amiga Luz y su propia soledad. Deambulando por sus explosivos treinta y tres años, recibe, por su cara bonita, la propuesta de una herencia multimillonaria y envenenada de un tal Villasevil. Las Seis Condiciones impuestas por su benefactor ponen a prueba su aguante, inteligencia y capacidad personal durante los siguientes seis años. Cuando ella alcanza los intensos cuarenta aniversarios, sobrada de dinero y agotada emocionalmente, le devuelve al satelite Culto su destino y se refugia en la humildad de Mourazos, su pueblo preferido. A este segundo tramo de su vida, vivido entre zancadillas, mascaras, lujuria y poder, lo titulo como LAS SEIS CONDICIONES. El autor

A fascinating, one-of-a-kind journey through the world of stamps and collecting by maverick historian and writer Robert IrwinWhy do we collect? Is it to rescue objects from oblivion? Is it a kind of desire - or even a kind of madness? In this mosaic of fiction, philosophy, sociology, biography and autobiography, virtuoso thinker Robert Irwin takes us on a wayward journey through the art of collecting, and his own intellectual passions.Drawing on the works of writers including Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin, Iris Murdoch and Georges Perec, as well as a host of lesser-known geniuses, flaneurs, obsessives and eccentrics, Irwin explores everything from mysticism to nostalgia, classical antiquity to surrealism, dreams to death. We join Thomas De Quincey on a night mail coach, encounter the man who set out to acquire every stamp ever issued and enter the badlands of fakes and forgeries, all in the company of a uniquely brilliant mind.This is a book of wonders; of labyrinthine digressions, good humour and a delight in small things. It is a meditation on the stuff of life.
