Synopsis "Imposturas"

Un estudio del deseo y la identidad. Una novela magistral y conmovedora de la mano del Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras John Banville. Axel Vander, anciano dandi de las letras, no es el hombre que aparenta ser. Cuando recibe una carta misteriosa que amenaza con desvelar sus secretos, viaja a Turín para encontrarse con su autora. Allí, nublado por la edad y el alcohol e incapaz de distinguir entre realidad y ficción, se enfrentará cara a cara con Cass Cleave, la mujer que tiene el poder de desenmascararlo. Qué fin persigue la joven, destruir a Vander o salvarlo? Atrapados en una realidad distorsionada, ambos personajes gravitan el uno hacia el otro en una relación oscura y perturbadora, condenada al desastre desde el primer momento. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One part Nietzsche, one part Humbert Humbert, and a soupcon of Milton's Lucifer, Axel Vander, the dizzyingly unreliable narrator of John Banville's masterful new novel, is very old, recently widowed, and the bearer of a fearsome reputation as a literary dandy and bully. A product of the Old World, he is also an escapee from its conflagrations, with the wounds to prove it. And everything about him is a lie. Now those lies have been unraveled by a mysterious young woman whom Vander calls "Miss Nemesis." They are to meet in Turin, a city best known for its enigmatic shroud. Is her purpose to destroy Vander or to save him--or simply to show him what lies beneath the shroud in which he has wrapped his life? A splendidly moving exploration of identity, duplicity, and desire, Shroud is Banville's most rapturous performance to date.

Estoy feliz de haber encontrado el libro en BuscaLibre! tenía los otros dos de la trilogía Claeve y me faltaba precisamente éste. Disfruto muchísimo con la prosa inigualable de John Banville (y también Benjamin Blacka). Leer sus libros es un placer único, lleno de descubrimientos.
