Review:
"A powerful, moving and beautifully wrought novel about the ways in which lives are molded by personal memory and the collective past." --"Boston Globe"
"Emotionally, "Moon Tiger" is kaleidoscopic, deeply satisfying. The all too brief encounter between Claudia and Tom will surely rate as one of the most memorable of contemporary fictional affairs. This is one of the best novels I have read for years." --"The London Sunday Telegraph"
"It pulls us in; it engages us and saddens us. It is also unexpectedly funny . . . It leaves its traces in the air long after you've put it away." --"The New York Times Book Review"

Book Description Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. A los setenta y seis años, Claudia Hampton, una historiadora heterodoxa que ha escrito algunos libros de gran éxito de público, está muriéndose en un hospital londinense. En la neblina de su conciencia destellan aún ciertos recuerdos de su vida, aunque ella imagina que está escribiendo una historia del mundo.

En la neblina de su conciencia destellan aún ciertos recuerdos de su vida, aunque ella imagina que está escribiendo una historia del mundo. Sin embargo, Moon Tiger, novela con la que Penelope Lively consiguió el premio Booker en 1987, no es otra cosa que la historia de la propia Claudia; la vida de una mujer fuerte y autónoma cuyas relaciones con la familia y los amigos han sido muchas veces difíciles. Conforme avanza la novela, va recreando el complejo mosaico de su vida y su época y recordando a las personas más importantes de su vida: Gordon, su hermano y su mejor amigo; Jasper, amante tan encantador como indigno de confianza y padre de Lisa, hija única de Claudia, una mujer fría y convencional; y Tom, jefe de artillería a quien Claudia conoce durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Egipto, donde ella es corresponsal de prensa, y que será el gran amor de su vida, eje inamovible de un mundo cambiante.

JULIAN BARNES ha dicho de PENELOPE LIVELY: «Los cuatro últimos libros de Penelope Lively son cuatro de las mejores novelas inglesas publicadas después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
