Literary Fiction
This Earth Is Forever
by Javier Vela
Description
With a historical landscape close to the present one and in a not-so-different Europe, the damages caused by climate changed have devastated the weakest populations in the old continent. In the South, the temperature raise contributed to a diaspora of thousands of people that now try to find refuge in the Nordic regions. At the same time, Emma and Argus, a couple suffering the fatigue of their daily coexistence in the Swedish island of Frösön, become aware of the decline, previously unnoticed, that has started to take over the Scandinavian map. The arrival of Hugo, a boy from a country devastated by fires and floods, will be decisive in their lives, although he will still need to overcome the sequels of the exile that marks his character.
This Earth Is Forever, with climate change and the far-right rise as a background, is mainly a psychological and introspective novel that we could classify as climate fiction.
