Seguir viva es deshonesto. Seguir viva pesa. Cargando las miradas apagadas de tantos que se han ido.
Entre Cirey en 1735 y Par?s en 1934, ocurre el ?xodo de cuatro amantes que un d?a abrieron los ojos y descubrieron que Dios (si es que en verdad existe), tan pronto cre? el mundo, tom? su veliz y se fue de viaje, quiz? para nunca m?s volver. ?milie du Ch?telet y Gerda Taro tienen varios v?nculos sutiles y uno evidente: ambas son defensoras de su propia libertad y aman y se dejan amar con vehemencia para poder encontrarse. La primera, rindi?ndose a la voluptuosa inteligencia de Voltaire, desterr?ndose por voluntad propia para estudiar, junto a ?l, las ecuaciones del universo y el esp?ritu; la segunda, supeditando el obturador de su gitano Robert Capa a un ideal de igualdad en medio de los horrores del fascismo. Ambas est?n instaladas en una b?squeda interminable. El puente entre ellas ser? una carta escrita por la matem?tica francesa en 1749, legando su fuerza a la fot?grafa m?rtir de la Guerra Civil Espa?ola. Esta es una novela ?pica, amorosa, ?ntima, seductora… los lectores agradecer?n tenerla en sus manos y jam?s podr?n olvidarla.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Staying alive is dishonest. Staying alive is heavy. Carrying the dimmed gazes of so many who are gone.”
Between Cirey in 1735 and Paris in 1934 unfolds the exodus of four lovers who one day opened their eyes and discovered that God (if He truly exists), as soon as He created the world, packed His suitcase and went traveling–perhaps never to return. ?milie du Ch?telet and Gerda Taro share several subtle links and one evident one: both are defenders of their own freedom, and both love and allow themselves to be loved with vehemence in order to find themselves. The former surrenders to the voluptuous intelligence of Voltaire, exiling herself by choice to study with him the equations of the universe and of the spirit; the latter subordinates the shutter of her gypsy Robert Capa to an ideal of equality in the midst of the horrors of fascism. Both are immersed in an endless search. The bridge between them is a letter written by the French mathematician in 1749, bequeathing her strength to the martyred photographer of the Spanish Civil War. This is an epic, intimate, seductive novel… readers will be grateful to hold it in their hands and will never be able to forget it.
