Paradiso rimpianto
by Amy Lane Rebecca MartignoniGli eroi cadono. Peter mette piede per la prima volta nella cittadina di Daisy, in California, quando è ancora un bambino ed è accompagnato da una sola certezza: suo cugino Michael si prenderà cura di lui. Poi Michael stringe amicizia col fragile e tormentato Bodi Kovacs e l'unica consolazione di Peter, dopo aver perso ogni possibilità di avere Bodi per sé, è che il cugino si occuperà anche di quest'ultimo. Ma la tragedia li colpisce e Michael si esilia dal loro mondo, gettando via l'affetto di chi l'ama di più. Sei anni dopo, Michael sta per tornare a casa in una cassa. Per distruggere un eroe è bastata una città piena di bigottismo e odio. Per reclamarlo serve una forza d'animo che né Peter né Bodi avevano sei anni prima. Da quando Michael li ha abbandonati, Bodi è perso e solo. Peter cerca di farlo suo e assumere il ruolo che avrebbe dovuto essere del cugino, ma prima di tutto lui e Bodi devono affrontare il passato. Devono affrontare Michael, i suoi pregi e i suoi difetti, la bellezza e la tristezza, e ricordarlo per quello che è stato davvero e non per quello che avrebbe potuto essere. È un gesto semplice che potrebbe distruggerli entrambi: passare al setaccio le macerie in fiamme del paradiso è un sistema infallibile per annichilire un cuore mortale che soffre.

El Paraíso en la otra esquina
by Mario Vargas LlosaUn nexo de unión entre dos personajes que optan por dos modelos vitales opuestos que desvelan un deseo común: el de alcanzar un paraíso donde sea posible la felicidad para los seres humanos. Dos vidas: la de Flora Tristán, que pone todos sus esfuerzos en la lucha por los derechos de la mujer y de los obreros, y la de Paul Gauguin, el hombre que descubre su pasión por la pintura y abandona su existencia burguesa para viajar a Tahití en busca de un mundo sin contaminar por las convenciones. Dos concepciones del sexo: la de Flora, que solo ve en él un instrumento de dominio masculino y la de Gauguin, que lo considera una fuerza vital imprescindible puesta al servicio de su creatividad. ¿Qué tienen en común esas dos vidas desligadas y opuestas, aparte del vínculo familiar por ser Flora la abuela materna de Gauguin? Esto es lo que Vargas Llosa pone de relieve en El Paraíso en la otra esquina (2003): el mundo de utopías que fue el siglo XIX. La crítica ha dicho...«Dada la maestría de Vargas Llosa, el resultado no es que sea valioso, sino que resulta fascinante; no es una novela grande sino dos grandes novelas, dos narraciones históricas... Libro magistral, que son dos, como dos son los paraísos aquí evocados.»Rafael Conte, El País «La tarea de documentación e investigación que está detrás de su construcción es realmente impresionante y no menos el modo perfecto como realiza la fusión entre lo real y lo ficticio... en cuanto a las proporciones épicas que sus relatos pueden alcanzar, tal vez no haya ahora nadie en nuestra lengua que lo pueda superar.»José Miguel Oviedo, ABC Cultural «La novela de Vargas Llosa es una prueba de su capacidad para recrear imaginativamente el pasado y permitirnos extraer, como lectores, varias y aún contradictorias opciones morales.»Joaquín Marco, El Mundo
