Books like La mecánica del corazón by Mathias Malzieu


In Mathias Malzieu’s poetic fantasy, a young boy born in the wintry climes of Edinburgh is born with a damaged heart. To survive, he replaces it with a wooden clock, a fragile, artificial heart that he must protect at all costs. Beside the chilling streets of Scotland, the story takes him across to a radiant Andalusian city, where he seeks love while following three strict rules: never touch the clock’s hands, control his temper, and avoid falling in love. Throughout his quixotic adventure, the boy’s quest is framed as a fable for grown‑up readers, reminding us all of the volatile nature of the heart.
