Sinopsis
Juan knows little about his widowed father Ranz, a man with a troubled past. If he has been told no lies, that is because he has asked no questions. All he does know is that before marrying Juan s mother, Ranz was married to her elder sister and she had committed suicide. However the truth begins to be spelled out once Juan has been married to Luisa, who turns discreet confessor to the old man. What gradually emerges is a repetition of scenes Juan has already witnessed in his travels of a married man blackmailed by his mistress in a Havana hotel, of a woman in New York pursuing a sequence of lovers through the lonely-hearts columns. With remarkable skill and delicacy Javier Marias produces a startling picture of two generations and two marriages, and of the secret commerce between spouses that rests on the gossamer-thin threads of an unspoken accord.

Paperback. Condición: Used. In Javier Marías' "A Heart So White," secrets lurk beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary lives. Juan knows this all too well as he grapples with the complexities of love, marriage, and the enigmatic past of his family. When his own curiosity leads him down a path of discovery, he uncovers truths that threaten to unravel the very fabric of his existence. Set against the backdrop of Madrid's bustling streets, this intricate tale explores the intricacies of human relationships and the haunting power of the unspoken. With prose that is both lyrical and thought-provoking, Marías invites readers on a journey where every revelation brings them closer to the heart of the mystery. "A Heart So White" is a mesmerizing exploration of the hidden desires and dark truths that lie within us all. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2176

Condición: Used. A Heart So White Family secrets are the prime elements of A Heart So White, perhaps the greatest novel by "the most talented Spanish author alive" (Il Messagero). Born in 1951 in Madrid, Javier Marias has published twenty books and is a literary phenomenon worldwide. Translated into twenty-eight languages, his books have sold more than three and a half million copies--an amazing quantity for so literary a writer. He has collected a dazzling array of awards, including for A Heart So White the Dublin IMPAC Prize for the best novel published worldwide in English in 1996. A Heart So White, probably Javier Maras's best-known novel, chronicles with unnerving insistence family secrets -- and the relentless power of the past. Juan knows little of the interior life of his father Ranz; each has always seemed comfortable with their friendly but distant orbit. Only when Juan marries (and his new wife begins to find much to talk about with Ranz) does his son consider the past anew, and yet he doesn't really want to know. Secrecy, its possible convenience and even civility, hovers throughout the novel -- it is a sort of anti-detective story of human nature. The sins of the father; the fraudulent and the genuine; marriage and strange repetitions of violence: Marias elegantly sends shafts of inquisitory light into shadows. At the center of A Heart So White are the costs of ambivalence. ("My hands are of your colour; but I shame/To wear a heart so white" -- Shakespeare's Macbeth.). Nº de ref. del artículo: 198
