Sobre el libro:

Me lo dijo sin preámbulos, pero no me tomó por sorpresa.
A principios de 2022, mi padre, Carlos Alberto Montaner, me encomendó la misión más difícil y dolorosa de mi vida: «Te pido que me ayudes a morir».
Más de seis años después de ser diagnosticado en Estados Unidos con Parkinson sus capacidades físicas habían mermado considerablemente y la enfermedad comenzaba a hacer mella en sus facultades cognitivas. Carlos Alberto Montaner, que había dedicado su vida al desempeño intelectual, el activismo político y a expresar sus opiniones en una columna sindicada en América Latina, España y Estados Unidos, decidía el final de su vida antes de que la enfermedad le arrebatara del todo su autonomía física e intelectual. Él deseaba regresar a Madrid, donde había vivido más de cuarenta años y, como ciudadano español, acogerse a la Ley de Eutanasia recientemente aprobada en el Congreso.
Deséenme un buen viaje es una crónica íntima de su trayectoria sin retorno, y la de su hija junto a él, con el trasfondo de la eutanasia. Se trata de un camino lleno de obstáculos e incertidumbre; pero también es un recorrido extraordinario por las emociones, la comunión íntima y la perseverancia frente a la adversidad. Cuenta un viaje del desarraigo –las señas de identidad de una familia marcada por el exilio tras el triunfo de la revolución en Cuba– hacia el arraigo que significó para ellos retornar a España, su segunda patria.
«Gina Montaner ha escrito un credo imprescindible para entender la vida y valorar la muerte. Valiente, sincero y conmovedor. No dejará a nadie indiferente por sus enseñanzas y su sabiduría» -Sonsoles Ónega
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of 2022, my father, Carlos Alberto Montaner, gave me the hardest and most painful mission of my life: “I’m asking you to help me die.”
Six years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, his physical and cognitive abilities had decreased considerably. Carlos Alberto Montaner, who had dedicated his life to intellectual pursuits, political activism, and to expressing his opinions through a syndicated column in newspapers throughout Latin America, Spain, and the United States, had decided to end his life before his illness took away the last of his autonomy. He hoped to return to Madrid, where he had lived for over forty years and, as a Spanish citizen, abide by the Law of Euthanasia recently approved by the Spanish Congress.
Deséenme un buen viaje is the intimate chronicle of a trip with no return. It is a journey of obstacles and uncertainties, but also an extraordinary retelling of vibrant emotions, intimate camaraderie, and perseverance in the face of adversity. This book tells a story of uprooting—the distinctive flag of a family that was exiled from Cuba after the triumph of the revolution—and of their return to Spain, their adopted homeland.
"Gina Montaner has written an essential creed to understand life and value death. Brave, sincere and moving. She will not leave anyone indifferent to his teachings and his wisdom" -Sonsoles Ónega
