Summary:
"Dalio soltó una risotada que bien pudo escucharse sin el micrófono. Blandió las maracas y creyó ver pasar al fondo de la sala a una virgen María seguida de un tigre." Una vieja gloria del bolero y un rockero frustado se encuentran. Dos formas de ver el mundo convergen en un proyecto tan inverosímil como su sociedad que, esperan, los llevará a las mieles de esa gloria tan escurridiza. A ratos pícaro y cínico, Dalio encontrará en el joven Poli al cómplice de su regreso a los escenarios sin importar los métodos para lograrlo. La vida alegre es la radiografía de una amistad, a la vez que un manual de supervivencia en clave narrativa; es una historia que asienta la importancia de la música para paliar todos los naufragios de la vida misma." -- Back cover
"Dalio gave a laugh that could well have been heard without the microphone. He brandished his maracas and thought he saw a Virgin Mary pass at the back of the room followed by a tiger. "The old glory of a bolero and a frustrated rocker meet. Two ways of seeing the world converge in a project as unlikely as their society that they hope, will lead them to the honeys of that elusive glory. At times mischievous and cynical, Dalio will find in the young Poli the accomplice of his return to to to he stage regardless of the methods to achieve it. The happy life is the x-ray of a friendship , as well as a survival manual in a narrative key; it is a story that establishes the importance of music to alleviate all the shipwrecks of life itself." -- Cataloger's translation of the synopsis on the cover
