La maleta

The suitcase

Núria Parera

"The Suitcase is an object that becomes a silent, poetic witness to many lives and key moments in contemporary history."

La maleta is a unique book, a small gem that transcends genre. Located somewhere between a picture book and a graphic novel, each double page offers a short text accompanied by a beautiful and evocative illustration. This is the story of the adventures of a suitcase over the course of more than a century: how it is passed from one person to the next, travels from one place to another over the decades, its journey intersecting with historic moments as well as personal ones, gathering dust along the way or forgotten in an attic, until inside it fits all the weight of the 20th and 21st century migrations.
