Una pareja de varones se encuentra cada domingo. La familia, los hijos, la complejidad del amor desde la perspectiva de uno de los amantes.

Apasionado, dulce, ambiguo, doloroso, el encuentro entre dos varones se repite domingo a domingo en un pequeño departamento. Desde allí se asoman al balcón frente al que se despliega el horizonte majestuoso de árboles y edificios de una Buenos Aires pobre y necia, que grita su ruina. Vendrán inmediatamente los días que los separen, los de la semana, la que los seres humanos dedican al trabajo y la familia. Y volverá luego el día de la entrega y la celebración.

A la cálida primavera que anuncian los jacarandás de las plazas, la precedió la lluvia y le sucederá el frío. A la luz del ocaso, antes y después, el sol de la mañana. Y sobre la superficie clara y mínima de esas horas juntos -las del sexo y la conversación de pocas palabras, un banquete que sacia y desespera- se extienden irremediablemente las sombras de las que está hecho el amor.

En esta novela delicada e intensa, Julián López incita a sus personajes a persistir en el viaje hacia el corazón de los otros. Porque es sólo en esa búsqueda a oscuras que se revela el sentido de la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A male couple meets every Sunday. Family, children, and the complexity of love, all seen from the perspective of one of the two lovers.

Passionate, sweet, ambiguous, and painful, the meeting between two male lovers repeats every Sunday in a small apartment. From that balcony they overlook the magnificent horizon of trees and buildings of a poor and foolish Buenos Aires with its ruin in full display. The days that separate them will soon come, those weekdays, the ones that human beings devote to work and family. But the day in which they give themselves to each other will soon return.

The warm spring revealed by the jacaranda trees in the squares was preceded by rain, and cold weather will follow it. There is always a morning sun before and after a sunset. And on the clear and minimal instances of those hours together - those of sex and short conversations, a banquet that satisfies yet despairs - the shadows of love are spread.

In this delicate and intense novel, Julian Lopez encourages his characters to persist in the journey towards the hearts of others. Because it is only in that gloomy search that the meaning of life is revealed.

Great, but different.
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 4)
I've been buying these for a while now. I love them because I have really sensitive skin and these clean my face without leaving a greasy film, or irritating my skin like other face wipes do. Mind you, the only makeup I wear is mascara though, so it's really only cleaning off oil and dirt. They don't dry out my face either. The only problem I have with these, is that, the last batch I ordered (while in the same packaging, and having no difference in looks or labels) is different than what I had previously been receiving from the same company. They smell different (actually better in my opinion) and they do NOT remove my mascara as well anymore. I still love them, because it does help keep my face from being excessively oily and keeps it clean other than removing my mascara. Though I am disappointed that I now have to get a different brand wipe just for removing my mascara now.

Best of the facial wipes
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 3)
I have used a lot of facial wipes. But, because of environmental reasons I am trying to cut back on the excess use of wipes which will go into a landfill. However, there are times when I am just too tired or too lazy to do a whole cleansing routine at night and I will reach for a wipe. These do a good job of taking off even waterproof makeup and yet still being gentle on the skin. I find I have no sensitivity to them(and I am sensitive to many, many things). I bought them specifically this time for my trip to Thailand because I knew it would be hot and humid and that I probably would need to cleanse my face a couple of times during the day from sweat and grime. They worked and I found them refreshing. I think I will always keep them on hand for the times I need them — this is by far my favorite brand.

Great for Rosacea Skincare
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 6)
My elderly mom has rosacea and these moist Micellar Facial Wipes are the absolute best for cleaning her delicate skin. I was so happy to discover Simple Facial Wipes because I had tried many other brands in the past, but all of the other wipes irritated her face and caused a burning sensation. These wipes are soft, sturdy and unscented. They are also pricier than other brands, but they are well worth the cost.

Best wipes at a great price!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 6)
These are about the best facial cleansing wipes I've found anywhere, and if you buy the bundle it's a great bargain as well. The wipes are gentle on my sensitive skin, but do a thorough job of getting off the makeup, even mascara and eyeliner. My husband was shaking an ink cartridge the other day and black ink sprayed out all over his face and shirt. On impulse we grabbed one of my facial wipes and started to clean the ink off his face. It easily cleaned up all of the ink, even from his mustache and beard with no residue, and I only had to use two of them. That's how effective these wipes are!
