About This Book
"When the writer Rosa Regas won the Planeta Prize, I was driving in my
car and I heard her acceptance speech live on the radio. Rosa Regas
said, 'Thank you for this prize. With the money I can buy something that
is not sold: time.' When I heard that, I started to wonder what would
happen if in a society like ours in the West, time could be bought. The
result is this book." --Fernando Trias de Bes
The Time Seller, the second book of business fiction from Fernando Trias
de Bes - coauthor of the internationally acclaimed bestseller Good Luck
- is not your standard business model book nor a "get with the program"
corporate drone story. It breaks the mold and offers a funny (and
perhaps existential) meditation on time, work, meaning, and the true
costs of "selling out" to the system. Trias de Bes has written an
acerbic commentary that seeks to awaken those bound to a routine that
has become the source of alienation.
This deceptively simple story reminds us that the system should take
from the individual only the time that is fair and absolutely necessary,
and it should, in turn, provide him or her with the means to express
love, humanity, spirituality, cooperation, solidarity, and help for
others. Well-written and truly original, The Time Seller is destined to
become a cult classic.
