A Catalan edition of one of the best books of the 2000s, The History of Love by the American writer Nicole Krauss. Originally published in 2005, it was a finalist for the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2006 and the winner of the 2008 William Saroyan International Prize for Writing for Fiction.

Fourteen-year-old Alma Singer is trying to find a cure for her mother's loneliness. Believing she might discover it in an old book her mother is lovingly translating, she sets out in search of its author to save her family. Across New York an old man called Leo Gursky is trying to survive a little bit longer. He spends his days dreaming of the lost love who, sixty years ago in Poland, inspired him to write a book. And although he doesn't know it yet, that book also survived: crossing oceans and generations, and changing lives

The book's cover concept is a visual allegory of the underlying themes in the novel: the birds, flying away with the title as messengers of one’s mortality and death; the loss of love; and what it means to be human. The words glide across the cover, appearing as random excerpts coalescing to compose the title — as do the multiple narratives in the story.
