Sentimientos Encontrados
by Gustavo Puerta Leisse
Description
How is envy different from jealousy? Why is there pain and a little pleasure when we feel nostalgic? Is guilt more painful than shame? By looking at different situations experienced by seven characters who inhabit a single house, the reader can explore their own feelings, as well as those of the characters. The reader is also invited to reflect on the subtleties that make each of these feelings unique; they may even gain insights into how we often wrongly interpret our feelings.
This books lends itself to many different readings. Some readers will perhaps focus and reflect on everything that is happening in a single vignette. Others might follow the deeds of one character throughout a range of illustrations. The book can be read from start to finish or by just focusing on one of the 16 emotional categories represented within it. Nevertheless, the best taste is always provided by the carefully considered combination of the text and the illustrations. At all times we can see what each character is doing in a specific situation in terms of one of these core feelings; or we can do this the other way around - once a feeling is found in the text, we can find an image that best illustrates it.

Reviews
The introduction of this extraordinary book contains a piece of advice that one absolutely should follow: »You can read this book how and whenever you’d like.« It’s true – the way to do justice to this book, which spans 16 double-pages, is by engaging with the 256 meticulously pencil-drawn vignettes and the thoughtful, explicating texts in a playful and autonomous way. The pictures offer views into the rooms of a multi-story house, showing people in their everyday lives and various emotional states. The texts beneath explain and investigate an emotion on every page – such as longing, joy, envy, or shame. It is left up to readers to make connections between the text and pictures. Additionally, the text and pictures of this spiral-bound mix-and-match book can be leafed through separately from each other, which creates countless opportunities to explore the facets of the world of human emotion. An exceptional, thought-provoking book for leafingthrough, searching, discovering, questioning and understanding.
