“Time has slipped away from me, as if in a game whose rules you cannot grasp until… when at last you do, you feel the match is already steering towards its end,” confesses one of the voices in this novel. From the age of innocence to maturity, through an intense tale of ambition, greed, passion, love and heartbreak. Barcelona, London and the romantic city of Koblenz form the backdrop of this narrative, where the author unfolds, through this story, the human dimension of its protagonist, Darío Larrosa. Triumphs and failures. Why can lives never flow without upheaval? And amid it all, Hubert Zimmermann—the spell of a memory, a symbol transformed into “that house which never was a house yet was his home” , a refuge to return to after the clamour of a life already past. 'Hubert Zimmermann House' is Raymond Petersburgh's first novel to be translated into English. R. Petersburgh, born in 1973 in Spain, is also the author of four other novels.
