Un caballero en MoscĂş [A Gentleman in Moscow]
(A Gentleman in Moscow)
Amor Towles
Esta novela excepcional nos habla de nuestra inagotable capacidad para arrostrar los infortunios de la existencia.Un libro que ha conquistado a dos millones de lectores y que pronto se convertirá en serie.Condenado a muerte por los bolcheviques en 1922, el conde Aleksandr Ilich Rostov elude su trágico final por un inusitado giro del destino. Gracias a un poema subversivo escrito diez años antes, el comitĂ© revolucionario conmuta la pena máxima por un arresto domiciliario inaudito: el aristĂłcrata deberá pasar el resto de sus dĂas en el hotel Metropol, microcosmos de la sociedad rusa y conspicuo exponente del lujo y la decadencia que el nuevo rĂ©gimen se ha propuesto erradicar. En esta curiosa historia se basa la segunda novela de Amor Towles, que despuĂ©s de recibir innumerables elogios por Normas de cortesĂa, su Ăłpera prima, se consolida como uno de los escritores norteamericanos más interesantes del momento.Erudito, refinado y caballeroso, Rostov es un cliente asiduo del legendario Metropol, situado a poca distancia del Kremlin y el BolshĂłi. Sin profesiĂłn conocida pese a estar ya en la treintena, se ha dedicado con autĂ©ntica pasiĂłn a los placeres de la lectura y de la buena mesa.Ahora, en esta nueva y forzada tesitura, irá construyendo una apariencia de normalidad a travĂ©s de los lazos afectivos con algunos de los variopintos personajes del hotel, lo que le permitirá descubrir los jugosos secretos que guardan sus aposentos. AsĂ, a lo largo de más de tres dĂ©cadas, el conde verá pasar la vida confinado tras los inmensos ventanales del Metropol mientras en el exterior se desarrolla uno de los perĂodos más turbulentos del paĂs.Además de mantenerse durante casi cincuenta semanas en las principales listas de Ă©xitos de Estados Unidos y de superar el millĂłn de ejemplares vendidos, Un caballero en Moscú ha obtenido numerosos premios, entre los que destacan el del Libro del Año segĂşn The Times y The Sunday Times. Esta novela está escrita con suma elegancia, cálido sentido del humor y un aprecio muy profundo por los grandes clásicos de la literatura rusa.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Civility, a novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel—a beautifully transporting novel. The mega-bestseller with more than 2 million readers, soon to be a major television series“Perhaps the ultimate quarantine read . . . A Gentleman in Moscow is about the importance of community; the distance of a kind act; and resilience. It’s a manual for getting through the days to come.” —O, The Oprah MagazineIn 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
