«Nunca antes una época ha estado tan marcada por el deseo de cambiar de vida. Todos queremos,
en algún momento, ser otro». UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR Y SUPERACIÓN POR EL MEJOR FOENKINOS,
CON MÁS DE TRES MILLONES DE LECTORES.
Contenido
A sus cuarenta años, divorciado y padre de un adolescente al que apenas ve, Eric Kherson es
director comercial de una gran marca depor8va. A pesar de su éxito laboral, se encuentra al borde
de la depresión consumido por un drama familiar. Cuando una vieja amiga del ins8tuto le ofrece un
puesto en el Gobierno, él acepta. Pero la alegría es temporal. Durante un viaje a Seúl para cerrar un
importante trato, Eric se encuentra cada vez peor. En una calle cualquiera, se topa con la 8enda
Happy Life, que ofrece a sus clientes algo que podría cambiarlo todo: un funeral falso.

David Foenkinos was born in Paris in 1974. A graduate in Literature from the Sorbonne University, he also received solid training as a jazz musician. Among his novels, enthusiastically received by readers and critics worldwide and translated into many languages, stand out The Erotic Potential of My Wife (Roger-Nimier Award 2004), In Case of Happiness (2005), The Memories (2011), I Am Feeling Much Better (2013) and, above all, Delicacy (2009), which won ten awards and was a finalist in the most prestigious literary awards in France, such as the Goncourt, the Renaudot, the Médicis, the Femina, and the Interallié, and which was later made into a film by the author himself and his brother Stéphane. In 2010, Foenkinos, a melomaniac and devoted fan of John Lennon, decided to launch a unique fictional biography, Lennon, with which Alfaguara began publishing his work in 2014. In 2015, he was awarded the Renaudot and Goncourt des lycéens prizes for Charlotte (Alfaguara, 2018), a unique book that rescued the painter Charlotte Salomon from oblivion. Following the success of The Library of Rejected Books (Alfaguara, 2017), adapted into a film, Alfaguara has also published Towards Beauty (2019), Two Sisters (2020), The Martin Family (2021) and, now, Number Two, winner of the Prix Nice Baie des Anges.
