Последната територия

A man wakes up in Barcelona with no memory of how he got there; even his own face is strange to him, and a woman recently tattooed on his arm looks like a goddess statue on a city square. Meeting the mysterious Elena, he slowly recalls the night before, and his story turns into an anarchist thriller of smashed bank windows. A flashback then shows him as a broken Bulgarian, flung abroad after a disastrous partnership with a mad Serb in a hotel. A second strand follows Manolo, a Spaniard born with deformed limbs because of thalidomide, who becomes a well-known psychiatrist and learns to walk through the realm of dreams. Dreams run through the whole book, Carl Jung appears briefly, and the separate stories collide in a turn that leads to a dystopian vision of the future.
