Un dÃa cualquiera, «un dÃa estúpido», condicionará el resto de su existencia.
La envolvente y apasionante historia de una espera.
«Durante un tiempo no estuvo segura de si su marido era su marido. A veces creÃa que sÃ, a veces creÃa que no, y a veces decidÃa no creer nada y seguir viviendo su vida con él, o con aquel hombre semejante a él, mayor que él. Pero también ella se habÃa hecho mayor por su cuenta, en su ausencia, era muy joven cuando se casó. »
Muy jóvenes se conocieron Berta Isla y Tomás Nevinson en Madrid, y muy pronta fue su determinación de pasar la vida juntos, sin sospechar que los aguardaba una convivencia intermitente y después una desaparición. Tomás, medio español y medio inglés, es un superdotado para las lenguas y los acentos, y eso hace que, durante sus estudios en Oxford, la Corona ponga sus ojos en él. Un dÃa cualquiera, «un dÃa estúpido» que se podrÃa haber ahorrado, condicionará el resto de su existencia, asà como la de su mujer.
Berta Isla es la envolvente y apasionante historia de una espera y de una evolución, la de su protagonista. También de la fragilidad y la tenacidad de una relación amorosa condenada al secreto y a la ocultación, al fingimiento y a la conjetura, y en última instancia al resentimiento mezclado con la lealtad.
O, como dice una cita de Dickens hacia el final del libro, es la muestra de que «cada corazón palpitante es un secreto para el corazón más próximo, el que dormita y late a su lado». Y es también la historia de quienes quieren parar desgracias e intervenir en el universo, para acabar encontrándose desterrados de él.
Reseñas
«Berta Isla es una de las más complejas y atrevidas novelas del autor y, sin duda, la más inquietante y desolada.»
José-Carlos Mainer, Babelia
«MarÃas ha forjado una obra maestra [...]. La gran literatura vuelve a estar escrita en español, para privilegio nuestro.»
José MarÃa Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC Cultural
«Javier MarÃas debe ser un firme candidato para ganar el Nobel.»
J.M. Coetzee
«Un escritor profundamente necesario, un caballero andante, divertido, punzante, lleno de ira y amor.»
The Guardian
«Javier MarÃas es un escritor maravilloso.»
John Banville
«Independientemente de nuestras expectativas, al leer elegimos pasar tiempo en compañÃa de un autor. En el caso de Javier MarÃas, se trata de una buena decisión su mente es profunda, aguda, a veces turbadora, a veces hilarante, y siempre inteligente.»
Edward St Aubyn, The New York Times Book Review
«Hechizante... evoca a creadores de acertijos como Borges, y las tramas de MarÃas, ingeniosas como jugadas de ajedrez, traen a la mente al gran maestro estratega del siglo XX, Vladimir Nabokov.»
Los Angeles Times
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A typical day, “a stupid day,†will determine the rest of their existence.
The engrossing, thrilling story of waiting.
“For awhile, she wasn’t sure if her husband was her husband. Sometimes she thought so, sometimes she thought not, and sometimes she decided not to believe anything and to keep living her life with him, or with that man who seemed like him, but older. But she had also become older because of him, in his absence; she had been very young when they got married.â€
Berta Isla and Tomás Nevinson met each other in Madrid at a very early age, and quickly decided to spend their lives together, never suspecting that an intermittent coexistence―and later, a disappearance―awaited them. Tomás, half Spanish and half English, is exceptionally gifted at languages and accents, which attracts the eye of the Crown during his studies at Oxford. One typical day, “a stupid day,†which could have been spared, will determine the rest of his existence, as well as that of his wife.
Berta Island is the engrossing, thrilling story of a wait and an evolution that of its protagonist. And also of the fragility and tenacity of a loving relationship condemned to secrets and concealment, to pretenses and speculation, and finally, to resentment mixed with loyalty.
Or, as a Dickens quote toward the end of the book states, it is the proof that “every beating heart […] is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it.†And it is also the story of those who want to stop misfortune and intervene in the universe, only to end up finding themselves banished from it.
Reviews
“Berta Island is one of the author’s most complex, daring novels and, without a doubt, the most unsettling and devastating.â€
–José-Carlos Mainer, Babelia
“MarÃas has wrought a masterpiece […]. Great literature is once again written in Spanish, much to our benefit.â€
–José MarÃa Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC Cultural
“Javier MarÃas should be a definite Nobel candidate.â€
–J.M. Coetzee
“A profoundly necessary writer, a knight-errant, funny, caustic, full of rage and love.â€
–The Guardian
“Javier MarÃas is a marvelous writer.â€
–John Banville
“Regardless of our expectations, as we read, we choose to spend time in an author’s company. In the case of Javier MarÃas, this is a good decision his mind is deep, clever, sometimes upsetting, sometimes hilarious, and always intelligent.â€
–Edward St. Aubyn, The New York Times Book Review
“Bewitching… it is reminiscent of riddle creators like Borges, and MarÃas’s plots, ingenious as chess moves, bring to mind the great master strategist, Vladimir Nabokov.â€
