Despre dragoste si umbra

Editura: Humanitas

Romanul Despre dragoste si umbra a fost ecranizat in anul 1994 cu Antonio Banderas si Jennifer Connelly in rolurile principale. O poveste de iubire cu atat mai patimasa si mai intensa cu cat totul pare sa-i fie potrivnic: un barbat si o femeie se salveaza prin intermediul unei pasiuni mistuitoare de ororile unei lumi stapanite de un regim autarhic. Faptul ca Irene Beltran provine dintr-o familie de burghezi instariti nu il impiedica pe Francisco Leal, un tanar fotograf angajat in secret in lupta de subminare a dictaturii militare, sa cada in mrejele frumusetii ei fascinante. Cand merg sa investigheze cazul misterios al Evangelinei Ranquileo, o adolescenta care sufera de niste crize stranii si despre care se spune ca ar avea puteri miraculoase, cei doi se avanta intr-o aventura care le va schimba definitiv viata. De-a lungul unui traseu narativ plin de suspans, osciland intre atmosfera exotica, incarcata de senzualitate si parfum a spatiului sud-american si sentimentele inculcate de teroarea perpetua, cititorul va trai alaturi de personaje o poveste tragica si sublima, despre curaj si sacrificiu, despre loialitate fata de familie si tradare, emotionanta si dureroasa. ...

Anul aparitiei: 2009

„Acum sase zile, un om a sarit in aer pe marginea unei sosele din nordul Wisconsin-ului.” Asa incepe povestea pe care Peter Aaron o spune despre prietenul sau cel mai bun, Benjamin Sachs. Sachs avea un mariaj pentru care Aaron il invidia si o minte pe care acesta din urma o admira. Si apoi, dintr-odata, dupa o cadere ce i-a fost aproape fatala – care s-ar putea sa fi fost intentionata sau nu –, Sachs dispare. Iar Aaron trebuie sa puna acum cap la cap detaliile vietii lui Sachs care l-au dus la moarte. Singurul sau scop este de a spune adevarul si de a-l pastra, inainte ca investigatorii cazului sa inventeze o varianta a lor. „Stilul elegant in care Auster isi construieste subiectul, jongleria sa cu idei si placerea senzuala cu care scrie te fac sa nu lasi cartea din mana.” Chicago Tribune Paul Auster (n. 1947) este o personalitate a spatiului literar american si francez, scriitor prolific, eseist, romancier, poet si scenarist. Numit „Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres”, Paul Auster imbina armonios artele, fiind autorul scenariilor pentru filmele Lulu on the Bridge si Brooklyn Boogie. Alte scrieri de succes international: Trilogia New Yorkului ...
