Una adolescente muy particular vive su primer amor y descubre, tras la agitación del corazón, las dificultades de convertirse en adulta.


«Los personajes de Yoshimoto ejercen una absoluta fascinación sobre mí ... A pesar de sus desgracias, tienen una capacidad infinita para degustar las cosas de la vida que hacen la vida vivible, y una extraña dignidad, imposible de doblegar.» Isabel Coixet, El Dominical


«La prosa de Yoshimoto se apoya en la calidad de su transparencia... Un retrato esencial de la soledad.» Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/S (La Vanguardia)


«Yoshimoto describe como nadie esos estados físicos y emocionales que tanto tienen que ver con el silencio.» The New York Times Book Review


«Sus logros literarios ya son legendarios.» The Boston Globe


«Una narradora magistral.» Chicago Tribune


Yuko tiene una sensibilidad poco común: es capaz de ver cosas que otros no pueden ver, y también de adivinar los deseos y pensamientos de quienes la rodean. Cuando cumple catorce años, esa sensibilidad se agudiza y todo parece adquirir matices misteriosos. En una academia de pintura, Yuko está aprendiendo a asignar un color a cada estado de ánimo y emoción; Kyu, su profesor, mayor que ella, le enseña. Y, cierto día, sólo él verá, al igual que ella, cómo un extraño hombrecito verde emerge del tallo de una planta que hay en el aula. Así comienzan lo que serán unos meses cruciales para la joven adolescente, quien, suspendida entre lo real y lo imaginario, afronta el día a día y descubre poco a poco la agitación del corazón, la ternura de los sentimientos y las dificultades de convertirse en adulta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A very unique teenager experiences her first love and discovers, through the turmoil of the heart, the challenges of becoming an adult.


"Yoshimoto's characters exert an absolute fascination over me ... Despite their misfortunes, they have an infinite capacity to savor the things in life that make it livable, and a strange dignity, impossible to break." Isabel Coixet, El Dominical


"Yoshimoto's prose relies on the quality of its transparency... An essential portrait of loneliness." Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/S (La Vanguardia)


"Yoshimoto describes like no one else those physical and emotional states so closely tied to silence." The New York Times Book Review


"Her literary achievements are already legendary." The Boston Globe


"A masterful storyteller." Chicago Tribune


Yuko has an uncommon sensitivity: she can see things others cannot, and even sense the desires and thoughts of those around her. When she turns fourteen, that sensitivity intensifies and everything seems to take on mysterious shades. At a painting academy, Yuko is learning to assign a color to each mood and emotion; Kyu, her teacher, older than her, guides her. And one day, only he will see, just as she does, how a strange little green man emerges from the stem of a plant in the classroom. Thus begin what will be crucial months for the young teenager, who, suspended between the real and the imaginary, faces daily life and gradually discovers the turmoil of the heart, the tenderness of feelings, and the challenges of becoming an adult.

Solid, grippy, and they don’t roll away!
Style: 10 Pound, Pair
I bought these because I’m finally trying to build a consistent home workout routine and didn't want to drop a fortune on name-brand weights. I’ve been using this 10lb pair for about a month now for everything from overhead presses to lunges, and honestly, they’re exactly what I was looking for. The Pros: • That Neoprene Grip: The coating is fantastic. Even when my hands get pretty sweaty halfway through a workout, I don’t feel like I’m going to drop them. It’s a much "softer" feel than cold metal or hard plastic. • The Hex Shape: This is a small detail that makes a huge difference. Since the ends are hexagonal, they don't roll across the floor when I set them down between sets. They also stay put if I’m using them for "renegade rows" or floor work. • Compact Size: They aren’t bulky. I can easily shove them under my bed or in the corner of the closet when I’m done. • No Weird Odor: I was worried they might smell like a tire factory (which happens with some rubber-coated weights), but these had almost no scent right out of the box. The Cons: • Handle Diameter: The handles are a little on the thicker side. I have medium-sized hands and it’s fine, but if you have very small hands, they might feel a bit chunky to wrap your fingers all the way around. • Color Scuffs: The navy blue looks great, but if you clank them together or drop them on concrete, the coating can scuff or show dust pretty easily. The Verdict: If you just need a reliable set of weights for HIIT, Pilates, or general strength training, these are a no-brainer. You're basically getting gym-quality equipment for a fraction of the price. I’ll probably be back for the 15lb set in a few months!

Love my mat!
Color: Pink, Style: 1/2 Inch
I’m new to stretching and recovery classes, and there is a lot of floor work. I was using the gym mats, but my knees, lower back, and glutes were hurting from being on the floor. This mat is the perfect thickness and feels wonderful during floor exercises. It gives me the extra cushion I need without being difficult to use. It’s also lightweight, durable, easy to clean, and easy to roll up for transport. The pink makes me smile. That said , the mat makes the classes more enjoyable.

Perfect exercise mat. It is nice and thick, and comfortable to kneel and lay on. Can't comment on durability, but so far, so good. Recommended.

Thick, soft, perfect for my service dog to lay on in restaurants, etc.
Color: Blue, Style: 1/2 Inch
I bought this for my service dog to lay on in restaurants, etc. It's super thick and soft. I cut it in half and I'm using the other half for my dog to lay on in the car. Excellent quality and I love the carry strap.

Comfortable and thick mat that’s great for workouts at home
Color: Black, Style: 1/2 Inch, Color: Black, Style: 1/2 Inch
I picked up this Amazon Basics extra thick exercise mat for home workouts, and it’s been a solid addition. The thickness is the first thing you notice—it provides good cushioning, especially for exercises where you’re on your knees, elbows, or back. The surface has enough grip to keep you from slipping during most movements, whether you're doing stretching, core work, or basic workouts. It also stays in place pretty well on the floor without sliding around too much. The mat rolls out flat easily and comes with a strap, which makes it convenient to store or carry if needed. It’s lightweight enough to move around but still feels durable. It’s not a high-end studio mat, but for everyday workouts at home, it does exactly what you need it to do. Pros: • Extra thickness provides good cushioning • Comfortable for floor exercises • Lightweight and easy to store • Good value for the price Cons: • Slight compression over time with heavy use • Grip is good but not premium-level Overall, this is a great budget-friendly mat for home workouts, stretching, or basic fitness routines.
