Secretos, ambici???n desmedida, redenci???n y poder. La novela de Nicola Lagioia ganadora del prestigioso Premio Strega (2015). ???De vez en cuando nos preguntamos: ???cu???ndo habr??? una gran novela italiana? Pues bien, podr???amos empezar por La ferocidad ???. Giancarlo De Cataldo En una c???lida noche de primavera, una joven camina por la carretera. Est??? desnuda y cubierta de sangre. Horas m???s tarde, el hallazgo de su cuerpo sin vida revelar??? su identidad: Clara Salvemini, la primog???nita de la familia m???s influyente de la zona. Se habla de suicidio, pero ???qu??? ocurri??? realmente? ???Qu??? la vinculaba a los turbios negocios de su padre? Y la relaci???n con sus hermanos, sobre todo con Michele, el hijo bastardo, ???tendr??? algo que ver con su muerte? Entre mansiones de la rica periferia de Bari, baches en un r???pido ascenso social, un elenco de personajes inolvidables y las tensiones de una familia al borde de la desgracia, Nicola Lagioia -ganador del prestigioso Premio Strega y autor de La ciudad de los vivos - desmenuza y define nuestra despiadada contemporaneidad y teje una trama que explora la ferocidad latente en cada individuo, atrapando al lector en un laberinto de secretos y mentiras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This Strega Prize winner "ticks all the boxes of a thriller while also being a masterfully written, baroque, many-faceted depiction of modern Italy" ( The Spectator ). Bari, southern Italy: On a stifling summer night, on the outskirts of town, a young woman named Clara, daughter of the region's most prominent family of real estate developers, stumbles naked, dazed, and bloodied down a major highway. Her death will be deemed a suicide. Her estranged half-brother, however, cannot free himself from her memory or the questions surrounding her death, and the more he learns about Clara's life, the more he reveals the moral decay at the core of his family's ascent to social prominence. Winner of the 2015 Strega Prize, Italy's preeminent prize for fiction, Ferocity is at once an intimate family saga, a cinematic portrait of the moral and political corruption of an entire society, and a "gripping" tale of suspense ( The Irish Times ). "Biting social commentary as well as edge-of-seat reading." Library Journal (starred review) "Allows the mystery to slowly and captivatingly resolve while offering a layered portrait of contemporary Italian life and the abuses of power that money can excuse." Publishers Weekly "Complex, darkly absorbing and mysterious literary fiction." Booklist
