by Alejandro G. Roemmers (Author)

Un enigma que suena a través del tiempo.

Si cada novela pudiera representar un mundo, esta nueva novela de Alejandro Guillermo Roemmers representa, y de manera muy efectiva, dos. El último violín construido por el célebre lutier Antonio Stradivari es el protagonista y, al mismo tiempo, es el común denominador de las dos tramas, que terminan por formar un texto único: una novela policial cercana a la serie negra, que parte de un hecho actual (el asesinato de un padre y su hija en una pequeña ciudad de Paraguay), con una novela histórica ricamente compuesta en la que, a través de los siglos, la historia del violín aparece representada en la vida de sus dueños ocasionales a lo largo de casi tres siglos.

Hablamos aquí de una narrativa compleja que ofrece varias capas de sentidos. Esta novela invita a los lectores a hacer un recorrido apasionante entre las leyes propias del policía (nada se sabe del móvil del doble crimen), y asistimos a su investigación, el seguimiento de un hilo histórico desde las profundidades de las almas de quienes han sido dueños del violín. Esta novela policial y el germen de novela histórica que van alternando en los capítulos pares e impares se contraponen, se articulan y complementan para formar un universo muy atractivo en su coherencia interna.

La novela no está exenta de una veta sobrenatural: el último violín construido por Stradivari se presenta como un amuleto, un objeto poderoso que preserva de todos los males a quien lo posea. Aunque, de tomarlo de una manera estrictamente realista, la música sublime que produce también podría ser un buen ejemplo de alguna especie de protección pagana o divina.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A mystery that echoes through time.

If every novel could represent a world, this new work by Alejandro Guillermo Roemmers represents--quite powerfully--two. The last violin crafted by the celebrated luthier Antonio Stradivari takes center stage and serves as the common thread binding two distinct plots into a single, unified narrative: a crime novel in the noir tradition, rooted in a contemporary event (the murder of a father and his daughter in a small Paraguayan town), and a richly composed historical novel in which, over the centuries, the violin's story is reflected in the lives of its successive owners across nearly three hundred years.

What unfolds is a layered narrative, rich in meaning. The novel invites readers on a thrilling journey through the logic of a detective story (the motive behind the double homicide remains unknown), while also tracing a historical thread deep into the souls of those who have owned the violin. The crime novel and the historical novel--woven through alternating chapters--stand in contrast, yet interlock and enrich each other, creating a captivating world with powerful internal coherence.

A hint of the supernatural runs through the novel: Stradivari's final violin is portrayed as a talisman, a powerful object that protects its possessor from all harm. Though, taken from a purely realistic perspective, the sublime music it produces could just as easily be seen as a form of pagan--or divine--protection.
