No lo sé... -repitió acercando tanto su cara a la mía que podía respirar su aliento-. No lo sé... -susurró de nuevo apoyando su frente contra la mía.

Los perros y los lobos
by Irène NémirovskyTeñida de marcados ecos autobiográficos, la novela se construye con retazos de la infancia y del exilio, la crisis de identidad, las historias de amor, todo sujeto a los azarosos caprichos del destino. Publicada por primera vez en 1940 -año en que Irène Némirovsky huyó de París en compañía de su marido y sus dos pequeñas hijas para refugiarse en un pueblo de la Borgoña-, ésta es la última obra que la autora de la magistral Suite francesa publicó en vida, dos años antes de su deportación y asesinato en Auschwitz. Ada y Harry Sinner, parientes lejanos, son dos jóvenes judíos procedentes de niveles sociales muy distintos a quienes un recuerdo infantil ha dejado una huella imborrable en sus vidas. Ada abandonó Ucrania poco antes de la revolución bolchevique, se ha casado con su primo Ben y lucha por abrirse camino como pintora. Harry, por su parte, ha contraído matrimonio con una joven francesa, hermosa, rica y católica, y se mueve en el mundo de las altas finanzas. Pero la fascinación que siente al contemplar dos cuadros de Ada en un escaparate lo llevan a recordar el mundo que ambos han dejado atrás. Con su destreza habitual para el retrato psicológico, Némirovsky delinea con claridad el torbellino de sentimientos de un clásico triángulo amoroso. Al hilo de los apasionados personajes, el relato transporta al lector desde Ucrania hasta el París de los años veinte, y la tensión narrativa crece sin cesar hasta la conclusión del relato. La crítica ha dicho...«Escrita con inmensa delicadeza y maestría, Los perros y los lobos es un logro extraordinario de la ficción europea.»The Sunday Times «Una nueva muestra del extraordinario talento de Némirovsky para ser a un tiempo una escritora épica e intimista.»La Stampa

The Persian Bride: A Novel
by James BuchanHailed as a masterpiece in Britain, this epic novel is at once a great love story, a riveting political thriller, and a profound analysis of modern Iran. It is the spring of 1974, and John Pitt, a young Englishman, sets off for the hippie East, stopping in Iran. There, in the lovely city of Isfahan, he meets the enchanting and spirited Shirin, an Iranian schoolgirl of seventeen. They fall desperately in love, marry in secret, and are forced into hiding. Shirin not only gives John happiness beyond anything he could have dreamed, she gives him her country's terrible history, its beauty and bitterness, its poetry and religious fanaticism. As the old world disintegrates in revolution and terror, John and Shirin are brutally separated. From the corrupt court of the shah to the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, in an enduring human quest as old as THE ODYSSEY, John stumbles through history to find his wife. James Buchan has lived in Iran and knows its people and its culture as few outsiders do. THE PERSIAN BRIDE is unflinching in its vision of twentieth-century chaos and deeply romantic in its marvelous love story. Lyrical and reflective in turn, this is a brilliant and beautiful novel.
