Hombres Sin Mujeres: Relatos / Men Without Women

Siete intensas historias sobre el desamor y la compleja relaci?n entre hombres y mujeres.

Haruki Murakami ofrece a los lectores siete relatos --entre ellos el que nspir? la pel?cula ganadora en Cannes 2021, en los Globos de Oro y nominada al ?scar, Drive my car-- sobre la soledad que precede o sigue a la relaci?n amorosa. Hombres que han perdido a una mujer, o cuya relaci?n ha estado marcada por el desencuentro, asisten inermes al regreso de los fantasmas del pasado y son incapaces de establecer una comunicaci?n plena con la pareja o ven extra?amente interrumpida su historia de amor. Otros experimentan atormentados amores no correspondidos o, incluso, como en el relato protagonizado por una metamorfosis kafkiana, desconocen todav?a los mecanismos del afecto y del sexo.

Sin embargo, las verdaderas protagonistas de estas historias son ellas, las mujeres que, misteriosas, irrumpen en la vida de los hombres para luego desaparecer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Seven intense stories about heartbreak and the complex relationship between men and women.

Haruki Murakami offers readers seven stories - including the one that inspired the winning film at Cannes 2021, at the Golden Globes and nominated for an Oscar, Drive my car - about the loneliness that precedes or follows the love relationship. Men who have lost a woman, or whose relationship has been marked by disagreement, witness the return of the ghosts of the past helplessly and are unable to establish full communication with their partner or see their love story strangely interrupted. Others experience tormented unrequited love or, even, as in the story starring a Kafkaesque metamorphosis, they are still unaware of the mechanisms of affection and sex.

However, the real protagonists of these stories are them, the women who, mysteriously, burst into men's lives and then disappear.
