PREMIO PAIDÓS 2026

UN ENSAYO LÚCIDO SOBRE LOS MALESTARES QUE ATRAVIESAN NUESTRAS DEMOCRACIAS Y UNA INVITACIÓN URGENTE A RECONSTRUIR LA CONFIANZA, EL DIÁLOGO Y EL FUTURO COMÚN.

Los malestares sociales que se han ido acumulando durante décadas están cristalizando hoy en un descontento profundo que pone en cuestión los propios fundamentos de la convivencia democrática, la confianza en las instituciones y la idea de futuro. En este contexto, la pregunta se impone: ¿qué podemos hacer?

En Contra el descontento, Cristina Monge, socióloga, profesora universitaria y una de las analistas más influyentes del panorama político español, ofrece una lectura crítica y, al final, esperanzadora de este malestar colectivo. Con un tono claro y sin renunciar a la profundidad analítica, recorre los principales desafíos del siglo XXI: la precariedad, la soledad digital, la crisis ecológica y la desafección de la ciudadanía hacia las instituciones y sus representantes. A través de este recorrido, traza la radiografía de una sociedad cansada, atemorizada e incapaz de imaginar otros caminos.

Lejos del pesimismo o la nostalgia, este libro reivindica la necesidad de recuperar la conversación pública, defender los hechos ciertos en la era de la posverdad y reconstruir un nuevo contrato social basado en la cooperación, la justicia y la sostenibilidad mediante alianzas para crear futuros deseables. Contra el descontento es un manifiesto por una democracia más fuerte y un futuro compartido que aún están a nuestro alcance.

Ideal para los lectores de Daniel Innerarity o Byung-Chul Han.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PAIDÓS PRIZE 2026

A LUCID ESSAY ON THE TROUBLES AFFECTING OUR DEMOCRACIES AND AN URGENT CALL TO REBUILD TRUST, DIALOGUE, AND A SHARED FUTURE.

The social unrest accumulated over decades is now crystallizing into a profound discontent that questions the very foundations of democratic coexistence, trust in institutions, and the idea of the future. In this context, the question arises: what can we do?

In Contra el descontento, Cristina Monge, sociologist, university professor, and one of the most influential analysts in Spain's political landscape, offers a critical yet ultimately hopeful reading of this collective malaise. With clarity and analytical depth, she explores the major challenges of the twenty-first century: precariousness, digital loneliness, the ecological crisis, and citizens' disaffection toward institutions and their representatives. Through this journey, she portrays a society that is weary, fearful, and unable to imagine alternative paths.

Far from pessimism or nostalgia, this book defends the need to recover public conversation, uphold facts in the era of post-truth, and rebuild a new social contract based on cooperation, justice, and sustainability through alliances to create desirable futures. Contra el descontento is a manifesto for a stronger democracy and a shared future that is still within our reach.

Ideal for readers of Daniel Innerarity or Byung-Chul Han.

MUST BUY
This was a nice addition to my Prequel collection! I just loved this product and so did my skin. This is a very light weight product that hydrates and plumps the skin. I apply it after my VitC serum and it works great under my makeup. I will be repurchasing. Such a good product at a good price!

Makes my skin feel firmer
I bought this and the Prequel SPF, my first time using this product line. Definitely impressed and in my opinion, a great price for what seems like a quality product. The serum has a lightweight texture,, absorbs quickly, and my skin looks and feels well hydrated right away. More so than when I use a regular hyaluronic acid. There is no pilling or heavy feel so easy to use with other products. I can't say whether it improves skin texture over time or what the benefits are with continued use. I've been using it consistently with the SPF for the last two weeks, so it only been a short while. But when I put it on, my skin noticeably looks more springy and feels better throughout the day. I have mature, dry skin so I do use a moisturizer over this before sun protection. I imagine that if you have oily or normal skin you might be able to use this in place of moisturizer during the day.

Plump, Soft Skin with a Smooth Finish
I’ve really been enjoying the Prequel Skin Multi‑Quench Plumping Hydration Serum. It gives my skin a soft, hydrated feel without any heaviness, and it absorbs quickly so it never interferes with the rest of my routine. One of the best parts is how smoothly my makeup applies afterward—everything blends better and looks more even. Overall, it’s a lightweight, effective serum that adds the perfect boost of hydration.

New favorite moisture serum
I am blown away by this formula - it goes on silky and absorbs into the skin, giving it a plump, hydrated glow without ANY stickiness or annoying shine. Two pumps after cleansing and toner is just right but you can also go in heavier and use in place of a moisturizer. This truly gives me lasting moisture, which is amazing for a light to mid-weight serum. Wears great with other complexion products and under makeup. The glass bottle is luxe and the pump isn't the least bit messy. Glycerin is all the rage in terms of "hot" ingredients right now - and I have to say after using this, I'm a believer. I've pretty much replaced a classic daily moisturizer with pairing this serum before Strata Lipid Gold (another holy grail) - which works great under my moisturizing Japanese sunscreen (Canmake Mermaid Skin). These steps provide a flawless, juicy base under makeup for my maturing (43-year old) skin. Can't wait to try more products in this line.
