The author describes thirty-four brief sequences on common situations of daily life which go by unnoticed, but which give us those little pleasures of life accessible to almost everyone. The simple yet careful style, with touches of humour and irony, sets a charming and fleeting mood, uncommon to daily behaviour. They are pages filled with optimism, helping the reader to discover the joys of life in small things and situations that appear mundane.
