Una novela sobre el peligroso poder de contar historias.
Un fen?meno literario imparable vendido en ocho pa?ses antes de su publicaci?n.
«Una aventura inesperada. Una sutil telara?a de historias y palabras que fascina y envuelve, que te atrapa inadvertidamente, como le ocurre al ni?o que escucha boquiabierto un bello cuento. Un debut poderoso e inolvidable . --Rosa Montero
«Uno sale de su casa, cuenta historias, r?e y descorcha botellas de vino con quien accede a acompa?arle. As? pasan los d?as, hasta que vemos nuestro reflejo en otros ojos. Las miradas de los dem?s son espejos que no cabe desestimar .
En un viaje nocturno en tren entre Londres y Edimburgo una mujer comparte trayecto con dos desconocidos con los que mantiene una conversaci?n sobre sus respectivas vidas. Uno de ellos habla de su ambigua relaci?n con un joven que le confes? una infancia dif?cil que marc? su vida. Poco tiempo despu?s el hombre escribi? una novela que se parec?a demasiado a ese episodio. Es ?tico escribir sobre lo que nos cuentan en privado? Cu?les son los l?mites de la ficci?n? Esta historia cautiva a la protagonista y aviva sus propios recuerdos, as? como la necesidad de saber qu? pas? realmente con estos dos desconocidos. Nada m?s ilusorio indaga en los relatos que nos contamos, en el papel de la literatura y en la sutil l?nea que separa lo real de lo ficticio, y nos brinda una envolvente narraci?n de traiciones, p?rdidas y culpa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A novel about the dangerous power of storytelling.
An unstoppable literary phenomenon with rights sold in eight countries even before it was published.
"We go out, tell stories, laugh, and uncork bottles of wine with whoever agrees to be our companion. And so, the days go by, until we see our reflection in others' eyes. The gaze of others is a mirror we shouldn't underestimate." On a nighttime train journey between London and Edinburgh, a woman and two strangers pass the time by talking about their lives. One man recalls his ambiguous relationship with a young man who confided in him about his difficult childhood and its effect on his life. Not long after, the man wrote a novel that closely resembled this episode. Is it ethical to write about other people's private confessions? The protagonist of P?rez-Carbonell's novel is fascinated by this question, which compels her to examine her own memories and find out what really happened between the two men. Nothing Is More Illusive questions the stories we tell, the role of literature, and the fine line that separates reality from fiction while weaving an evolving narrative of betrayal, loss and guilt.
