Luego, la calle, los trabajos de albañilería y un viaje en el que sólo encontrará cosas distintas a las que esperaba. Con ritmo de relato oral, sueños reveladores, equívocos, destinos cruzados de novela rosa y de policial negro, la novela centra la mirada en el problema de los desaparecidos y lo lleva hasta los lugares menos pensados.
TRIDENTE, EL (EBOOK)
by Diego SasturainEn El Tridente, de Diego Sasturain, la primera persona atrapa y conduce por el desfiladero de temas: el misterio, la locura, las sectas. Temas que proyectan otros: el delirio, la digresión, un secreto. Constancias del vuelo de la imaginación se convierten, gracias al autor, en ejemplos presocráticos. Todo se desprende con timidez y una rara hondura, una especie de honestidad vocal, en este relato de peripecias descansadas. A poco de ir acumulando afirmaciones, se empieza a sentir la magia. La magia la establecen la introspección y una inteligencia que se ha puesto en marcha. Una inteligencia muy atenta: no quiere deslumbrar, quiere abrirse paso, ir conociéndose de a ratos, reírse, aprender a hacer un asado. El narrador ya ha sabido pasarle la pelota al protagonista. Lo deja solo frente a la parrilla. Sabe cómo cada pedacito de tradición le juega a favor, y los descarta. Después, divirtiéndose con la circunstancia, empieza a cocinar la carne. Con esa misma perfecta vocación, con ese mismo elegante desgano, Diego Sasturain ha escrito esta novela extraordinaria.

by Claudio HernándezLes meurtres sont ses œuvres majeures. Tout commence pendant la Journée du livre, sur les Ramblas de Barcelone. Un peintre, assis sur le trottoir, apporte ses dernières touches à la toile qu’il considère comme sa pièce maîtresse. C’est un bras amputé, des ciseaux de chirurgien sont plantés dans les veines et les tendons. C’est le même bras que celui qu’on aperçoit, pendant tout en haut de la maison Battló. Au même moment, à l’autre bout des Ramblas, surgit un homme, habillé comme le peintre Anton Van Dyck sur son tableau représentant un manchot. L'un de ses bras a été tranché, et il se vide de son sang. Un thriller noir, chargé de sang, de suspense et de mystère qui emporte le lecteur à travers l’enquête de l’un des inspecteurs les plus réputés de l’UCO, Andrés López.

Tabú
by Ferdinand von SchirachVon Schirach vuelve a desplegar su mirada penetrante y sensible a las turbulencias internas del ser humano y su preocupación por las grandes cuestiones éticas de nuestro tiempo. En esta novela Von Schirach replantea algunos de los grandes interrogantes de siempre: la validez del sistema de justicia en casos excepcionales, con la consiguiente justificación de transgredir o no la ley vigente. Nacido en una familia aristocrática venida a menos, Sebastian von Eschburg es un niño solitario e introvertido, con una madre que sólo se interesa por las carreras de caballos y un padre alcoholizado y aficionado a la caza, a quien, no obstante, lo une un fuerte vínculo. Con el tiempo, la extraordinaria percepción del color que posee Sebastian transformará al niño sensible y vulnerable en un famoso fotógrafo, un artista internacionalmente reconocido que plasma en sus obras una tormentosa relación entre ficción y realidad, verdad e ilusión. Sin embargo, en un giro inesperado, su vida cambia por completo cuando una llamada telefónica a la policía lo convierte de la noche a la mañana en el presunto asesino de una joven desaparecida. La crítica ha dicho...«La fluida y elegante prosa de Von Schirach nos presenta a un antihéroe acusado de asesinato, que ve el mundo en colores demasiado vivos, y a su engreído abogado defensor, que lo ve todo con matices grises. De ahí resulta una desconcertante mezcla de clímax y anticlímax, de tensión y humor, de mentiras y verdades, y una novela tan singular e intrigante como su protagonista.»The Guardian «Von Schirach narra la infancia del personaje principal con las hermosas y diáfanas frases que ya convirtieron en bestsellers sus dos libros anteriores, Crímenes y Culpa, transformando los casos judiciales en una narrativa sobresaliente.»Die Welt «Un libro que desconcierta tanto como emociona.»Sonntag «Tabú es una prueba de que las obras maestras también pueden escribirse en un lenguaje sencillo y lacónico.»Dorstener Zeitung «Von Schirach es un autor extraordinario, y Tabú, una obra muy lograda. [...] Los giros son asombrosos no sólo en lo que respecta al contenido, sino también conceptualmente.»Fabelhafte Bücher «Un libro breve, enigmático y fascinante.»The Observer «El mayor logro de Von Schirach es demostrarnos que, por monstruosos que puedan parecer sus actos, el ser humano nunca deja de ser humano.»Libération
