La soledad de los números primos
by Paolo GiordanoLa novela que convirtió a Paolo Giordano en el fenómeno editorial más relevante de los últimos tiempos en Italia. Entre los números primos hay algunos aún más especiales. Son aquellos que los matemáticos llaman primos gemelos, pues, aunque permanecen próximos, entre ellos se interpone siempre un número par. Esta verdad matemática es la hermosa metáfora que el autor ha escogido para narrar la historia de Alice y Mattia, dos personas cuyas vidas han quedado condicionadas por las consecuencias de sendos episodios ocurridos en su niñez. Pese a la fuerte atracción que los une, la vida erigirá entre ellos barreras invisibles que pondrán a prueba la solidez de su relación. La sutileza de los rasgos psicológicos de los personajes, así como la hondura y complejidad de una historia que suscita en los lectores las reacciones más variadas, resaltan la admirable madurez literaria de este joven autor a la hora de asomarse, nada más y nada menos, a la esencia de la soledad. La crítica ha dicho...«Un libro perfecto, construido con la sabiduría de un narrador experto [...] Todo el mundo reconocerá algo de sí mismo en el libro de Giordano, pues el verdadero protagonista de esta maravillosa historia es la soledad.»Il Giornale «Giordano narra con mano firme y gran madurez estilística una materia candente, con densas ramificaciones emocionales.»Corriere della Sera «Nada escapa a la atención de Giordano, que observa a sus personajes con la delicadeza feroz de quien sabe que la vida se compone de fragmentos, todos preciosos.»La Repubblica
