by Pierre Lemaitre (Author)

PARÍS, PRAGA, 1959

Una trama llena de acción, mucho suspense y giros inesperados, con la Guerra Fría y la amenaza nuclear como telón de fondo

Vuelve Pierre Lemaitre con su saga sobre la familia Pelletier.

Iniciado hace más de diez años con Nos vemos allá arriba (Premio Goncourt 2013), el monumental proyecto de Pierre Lemaitre de ofrecer una historia subjetiva, incuestionable y sobre todo gozosa del siglo XX, que no ha cesado de sumar lectores y elogios de la crítica, prosigue con Un futuro prometedor, un sabrosísimo relato lleno de giros, misterio, tensión, espías y amor en el contexto de la Guerra Fría.

Tras vender su fábrica de jabón en Beirut, el matrimonio Pelletier se instala en la apacible campiña francesa, donde recibe la visita regular de sus tres hijos y sus numerosos nietos. Corre el año 1959 y la vida parece sonreír a los Pelletier, pese a que el sombrío panorama político nacional e internacional no invita al optimismo. Pero todo cambia cuando, en plena Guerra Fría y con el comunismo en horas altas, uno de sus hijos debe dirigir una peligrosa misión en Praga, detrás del Telón de Acero, de la que no sabe si va a poder salir indemne o ni siquiera vivo... Atrapado en una ciudad donde reinan la policía, el ejército, los delatores y los informadores, deberá superar una prueba a la que se ha comprometido en nombre de un valor moral que considera superior. Esta aventura afectará profundamente a la familia y pondrá a prueba el vínculo afectivo y la solidez de los lazos de todos sus miembros.

Tercera entrega de la saga familiar sobre el clan Pelletier, Un futuro prometedor es un auténtico homenaje a la novela de acción con la amenaza nuclear como telón de fondo. En ella, Pierre Lemaitre nos ofrece, una vez más, un retrato exultante de una época tan turbulenta como fascinante.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PARIS, PRAGUE, 1959

An action-packed plot, filled with suspense and unexpected twists, with the Cold War and a nuclear threat as backdrop.

Pierre Lemaitre returns with his saga about the Pelletier family.

As it began over ten years ago with The Great Swindle (Goncourt Prize 2013), Pierre Lemaitre's monumental project of a subjective, unquestionable, and above all enjoyable tale set in the twentieth century, which hasn't stop piling readers and praise from critics, continues with A Promising Future, an absolutely delicious story full of twists, mystery, tension, spies, and love, in the context of the Cold War.

After selling their soap factory in Beirut, the Pelletiers settle in the peaceful French countryside, where they are visited regularly by their three children and their many grandchildren. It is the year 1959, and life seems to be smiling upon the Pelletiers, even if the grim political landscape, domestic and abroad, leaves little room for optimism. But it all changes when, in the middle of the Cold War and at the height of communism, one of their children has to lead a dangerous mission in Prague, behind the Iron Curtain, from which he doesn't know if he will come out unscathed or even alive... Trapped in a city where the police, the army, snitches, and informants reign, he will have to survive the ordeal he committed to in the name of a higher moral value. This adventure will affect the family deeply and will put to the test the emotional ties between all family members and the strength of their bond.

Third installment in the family saga about the Pelletier clan, A Promising Future is a true homage to action novels, with a nuclear threat as backdrop. In it, Pierre Lemaitre offers once again an exultant portrait of a fascinating and turbulent time.
