Maria es una 'joven discreta' que observa a diario una pareja casada a la hora del desayuno en una cafeteria. La muerte del marido propicia su acercamiento a la viuda y sin desearlo, lograra desentranar las circunstancias de la muerte de este. En esta obra, el autor escribe una sucesion de ensayos sobre el enamoramiento, el olvido de aquellos que fallecen, la envidia, el desamor y la muerte, y los enlaza en una trama que se desarrolla lentamente. Las ideas que se exploran son interesantes, los personajes estan bien observados, y la narracion ofrece sorpresas al lector que hacen la obra un poco mas amena, sin embargo, el estilo de esta novela, con larguisimos monologos interiores, repetitivos y a veces aburridos, hace que la lectura de la novela se haga un poco pesada.

Marias is reported to be the best Spanish writer alive. This book got excellent critics in Spain. The book is good but a little superficial story. ( )

Das letzte Mal sah ich Miguel Desvern oder Deverne, als ihn auch seine Frau Luisa zum letzten Mal sah, was eigentlich seltsam, ja ungerecht ist, denn sie war seine Frau und ich nur eine Unbekannte, die nie ein Wort mit ihm gewechselt hatte.

Book description
Haiku summary

No descriptions found.

"Los enamoramientos, Mar?as' latest work, is a reflection on the state of infatuation, considered as something positive and even redeeming to the extent of justifying all: the most noble and selfless actions but also the largest excess and abuses. It is also a novel on the impossibility of ever knowing the truth, not even our own. "--Amazon.com… (more)
