Description

La historia da un profesor gris que vuelve a encontrarse con su amor platnico de adolescencia.
Casi veinte aos despus de la publicacin de El vientre de la ballena, Javier Cercas, convertido ya en uno de los escritores fundamentales del panorama europeo, asumi un reto fascinante: revisar el libro del novelista que fue, enfrentarse a sus propios orgenes. El resultado es una novela a la vez reconocible y nueva, donde la sabidura y la eficacia del autor maduro aciertan a potenciar la frescura y el humor del joven. De ese modo, la tragicmica experiencia del treintaero Toms, inmerso en una transformacin vital tan profunda como la de Jons en el vientre de la ballena, da pie a un relato extraordinario, hilarante y melanclico, poblado de personajes inolvidables, por el que el lector avanza como por una irnica novela de aprendizaje en la que nadie aprende nada salvo que no hay nada que aprender, o salvo que slo se puede aprender si se aceptan la inextricable complejidad de las relaciones humanas, las perplejidades del corazn y los espejismos de la felicidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The story of a listless professor who reunites with his teenage crush. Almost twenty years after the publication of The Whale’s Belly, Javier Cercas, now one of the fundamental writers on the European scene, has taken on a fascinating challenge: to revise the book written by the novelist he used to be; to confront his own origins. The result is a novel that is at once recognizable and new, where the mature author’s wisdom and efficacy manage to strengthen the freshness and humor of his younger self. In this way, the tragicomic experience of thirty-something Toms, immersed in a transformation as profound as that of Jonas in the belly of the wale, gives rise to an extraordinary, hilarious, and melancholy tale, filled with unforgettable characters, through which the reader travels as though through an ironic coming-of-age novel in which nobody learns anything except that there is nothing to learn, or which can only be learned by accepting the inextricable complexity of human relationships, the perplexities of the heart, and the illusions of happiness.
