Product Information

Uno de los mejores libros del 2018 segun Babelia. El regreso de Andres Neuman a la gran novela tras El viajero del siglo, Premio Alfaguara y Premio de la Critica. Una historia sobre la belleza que emerge de las cosas rotas. Me mostro sus cicatrices. Un fino entramado en los antebrazos y la espalda. Parecia transportar un arbol. Luego el vio las mias. Nos sentimos livianos, un poco feos y muy bellos. Dos supervivientes. El senor Watanabe, superviviente de la bomba atomica, se siente un fugitivo de su propia memoria y esta a punto de tomar una de las decisiones mas cruciales de su vida. El terremoto previo al accidente de Fukushima provoca un movimiento de placas que remueve el pasado colectivo. Cuatro mujeres narran sus vidas y sus recuerdos de Watanabe a un enigmatico periodista argentino, en un recorrido sentimental y politico por ciudades como Tokio, Paris, Nueva York, Buenos Aires o Madrid. Este cruce de idiomas, paises y parejas va revelando como nada ocurre en un solo lugar, como cada acontecimiento se expande hasta hacer temblar las antipodas. El modo en que las sociedades recuerdan y, sobre todo, olvidan. En Fractura se entretejen amor y humor, historia y energia, la belleza que emerge de las cosas rotas. Con esta novela Andres Neuman regresa con fuerza a la narrativa de largo aliento, que lo consagro internacionalmente con El viajero del siglo, y firma su obra mayor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This is Andres Neuman's big novelistic return after winning the Premio Alfaguara and Premio de la Critica for El viajero del siglo / Traveler of the Century. In it, he tells the story of all the beauty that comes from broken things. He showed me his scars. A fine lattice on his forearms and back. Then he saw mine. We felt weightless, a bit ugly, and very beautiful. Two survivors. Mr. Watanabe, an atomic bomb survivor, feels like a fugitive of his own memory; he is about to make one of the most crucial decisions of his life. The earthquake prior to the Fukushima accident caused the movement of plates that stirred up a collective past. Four women narrate their lives and memories of Mr. Watanabe to a mysterious Argentine journalist throughout a sentimental and political journey through Tokyo, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, and Madrid. This crossroad of languages, countries and couples reveals the way in which societies remember and, above all, how they forget.
