by Amor Towles (Author)

Uno de los mejores libros de Amazon de 2024 hasta ahora

Vuelve el celebrado autor de Un caballero en Mosc?

«Un libro espectacular. [...] Un triunfo -The New York Times

«Quiz? su mejor libro hasta la fecha. -Los Angeles Times

Tras cautivar a millones de lectores con Un caballero en Mosc?, Amor Towles vuelve a seducirnos con su elegancia, humor e ingenio narrativo en Mesa para dos, seis relatos que transcurren en Nueva York al filo del cambio del milenio y una novela breve ambientada en la Edad de Oro de Hollywood.

Aparentemente inconexas, todas estas historias presentan un momento cr?tico en que dos personas deben sentarse a una mesa para abordar asuntos tan universales como la b?squeda de la felicidad, el poder del dinero o la subversi?n de las normas sociales. As? sucede en relatos tan conmovedores como «La cola , que sigue el periplo de dos campesinos rusos, Pushkin y su mujer Irina, desde su aldea hasta Nueva York pasando por Mosc?, mientras intentan desarrollar su potencial sin traicionar sus ideales; o en «La balada de Timothy Touchett , donde un escritor frustrado acepta un trabajo poco edificante hasta que Paul Auster se cruza en su camino. O en «Eve en Hollywood , una vibrante novela con tintes de g?nero negro que nos permite reencontrarnos con Evelyn Ross, la indomable protagonista de Normas de cortes?a, aqu? decidida a labrarse un futuro entre plat?s, bungal?s y los antros m?s oscuros de Los ?ngeles de los a?os cuarenta.

Creador de personajes que nos transportan en el tiempo y nos dejan una huella imborrable, Amor Towles muestra de nuevo su enorme talento en Mesa para dos. En este fascinante libro, lleno de dramatismo, agudeza, erudici?n y ternura, el autor vuelve a sus temas de siempre --las relaciones, la familia, la confianza, la ambici?n, la culpa o el valor de la amistad-- con su acostumbrada hondura y belleza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Amazon Best Books of 2024 So Far

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

"A knockout collection. ... Sharp-edged satire deceptively wrapped like a box of Neuhaus chocolates, Table for Two is a winner." --The New York Times

"Superb ... This may be Towles' best book yet. Each tale is as satisfying as a master chef's main course, filled with drama, wit, erudition and, most of all, heart." --Los Angeles Times

Millions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood.

The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages.

In Towles's novel Rules of Civility, the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from seven points of view, "Eve in Hollywood" describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself--and others--in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of Los Angeles.

Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles's canon of stylish and transporting fiction.

Author Biography

Amor Towles (Boston, 1964) se gradu? en la Universidad de Yale y complet? estudios de posgrado en Literatura Inglesa en Stanford. Su primera novela, Normas de cortes?a (2012), traducida a m?s de quince idiomas y bestseller de The New York Times, fue considerada por The Wall Street Journal como uno de los mejores libros de 2011. La acogida del p?blico se multiplic? con la publicaci?n de su segunda novela, Un caballero en Mosc?, que escal? hasta el primer puesto en la lista de The New York Times y de la cual se han vendido m?s de un mill?n de ejemplares hasta la fecha. Este ?xito definitivo ha permitido a Towles abandonar el mundo de las finanzas y dedicarse a escribir a tiempo completo. En la actualidad vive en Manhattan con su mujer y sus dos hijos.
