???Qu??? pasar???a si se reuniesen bajo un mismo techo el Amor, la Cultura y el Poder? Un autor ???imparable de verdad??? (Sergio Vila-Sanju???n, La Vanguardia ) que ???avanza a pasos agigantados hacia el pedestal de los escritores catalanes m???s le???dos de todos los tiempos??? ( El Peri???dico ). UNO DE LOS TREINTA LIBROS IMPRESCINDIBLES PARA LEER EN 2022 SEG???N LA VANGUARDIA ??????Ese hombre es el horror! ???M???s que eso! Un infierno le habita, una vanidad criminal le gu???a???. Nadie ha estado jam???s recluido en una prisi???n tan segura, tan lejana y tan inexpugnable como la que habita Napole???n Bonaparte tras su derrota en Waterloo. Todo el mundo sabe lo que ha ocurrido. Quienes lo rodeaban, hartos de su ambici???n sin fin y de los desastres sucesivos, han decidido tratarlo como lo que realmente es: un genio del mal. El lugar donde lo encierran se llama Santa Elena, un islote a miles de kil???metros de la costa m???s cercana, infestado de ratas y vigilado por la armada brit???nica. En la primavera de 1819, Fran???ois-Ren??? de Chateaubriand y su amante, Delphine Sabran, se embarcan rumbo a esta isla perdida en mitad del oc???ano. El gran escritor de su ???poca y la marquesa de Custine quieren poner a prueba su amor como las parejas m???s famosas de la historia, como Marco Antonio y Cleopatra, como Romeo y Julieta, superando dos obst???culos enormes: una gran distancia y un gran adversario. Tras meses de navegaci???n, ???puede que haya un enemigo m???s temible para estos dos hijos de la aristocracia francesa? Tras su encuentro con el emperador que caus??? estragos por toda Europa, Chauteabriand y Delphine descubrir???n aterrorizados que los monstruos pueden tener m???ltiples caras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION What would happen if we were to find Love, Culture, and Power under the same roof? A "truly unstoppable" (Sergio Vila-Sanju???n, La Vanguardia ) author that "walks with giant strides towards the perch of the most-widely read Catalan writers of all time" ( El Peri???dico ). ONE OF THE THIRTY MOST INDISPENSABLE READS IN 2022, ACCORDING TO LA VANGUARDIA "This man is horrible! More than that! Hell resides within him; a criminal vanity guides him." Nobody has ever been secluded in such a safe prison, so very far away and inexpugnable, like that of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo. Everybody knows what has happened. Those around him, tired of his endless ambitions and successive disasters, have decided to treat him for what he is: an evil genius. The place where he is locked up is called Santa Elena, a small island thousands of miles away from the nearest coast, infested by rats and guarded by the British navy. In spring 1819, Fran???ois-Ren??? de Chateaubriand and his lover, Delphine Sabran, embark on their way to this island, lost in the middle of the ocean. The great writer of his time and the Marquise de Custine want to put their love to the test like the most famous couples in history, like Mark Antony and Cleopatra, like Romeo and Juliet, overcoming two immense obstacles: a great distance and a great adversary. After three months of sailing, can there be a more fearsome enemy for these two descendants of French aristocracy? After their encounter with the emperor that wreaked havoc all over Europe, Chateaubriand and Delphine will discover, terrified, that monsters may have many, many faces.
