SynopsisA large crack along the Pyrenees separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe. Spain and Portugal become a great floating island, without oars, sails and propellers, drifting toward a new utopia. The cultural encounter between Europeans and Latin Americans will help to establish an equilibrium between the people of these two worlds., Una grieta abierta espontáneamente a lo largo de los Pirineos provoca la separación física de la península ibérica, que se aleja de Europa flotando en el Atlántico. La balsa de piedra es, en palabras del propio autor "una novela profundamente ibérica", relativa a "Portugal y al conjunto de los pueblos españoles, que siento que comparten una cultura común, una cultura que no es rigurosamente europea: es otro mundo, un mundo con un carácter tan fuerte, tan propio, que los pueblos de la Península deberían hacer un gran esfuerzo de entendimiento mutuo para resistir a las presiones de la cultura europea, que no es sino la cultura de los tres países dominantes, Francia, Alemania e Inglaterra"., A large crack along the Pyrenees separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe. Spain and Portugal become a great floating island, without oars, sails or propellers, drifiting south toward a new utopia. The characters on this great ship of rock--two women, three men, and one dog--travel endlessly on the peninsula while it goes circling around the ocean. The world is changing and they know they should search within themselves for the new people they too will become. But this is exactly what remains to be done.
