«Seguir viva es deshonesto. Seguir viva pesa. Cargando las miradas apagadas de tantos que se han ido.»
Entre Cirey en 1735 y París en 1934, ocurre el éxodo de cuatro amantes que un día abrieron los ojos y descubrieron que Dios (si es que en verdad existe), tan pronto creó el mundo, tomó su veliz y se fue de viaje, quizá para nunca más volver. Émilie du Châtelet y Gerda Taro tienen varios vínculos sutiles y uno evidente: ambas son defensoras de su propia libertad y aman y se dejan amar con vehemencia para poder encontrarse. La primera, rindiéndose a la voluptuosa inteligencia de Voltaire, desterrándose por voluntad propia para estudiar, junto a él, las ecuaciones del universo y el espíritu; la segunda, supeditando el obturador de su gitano Robert Capa a un ideal de igualdad en medio de los horrores del fascismo. Ambas están instaladas en una búsqueda interminable. El puente entre ellas será una carta escrita por la matemática francesa en 1749, legando su fuerza a la fotógrafa mártir de la Guerra Civil Española. Esta es una novela épica, amorosa, íntima, seductora… los lectores agradecerán tenerla en sus manos y jamás podrán olvidarla.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Staying alive is dishonest. Staying alive is heavy. Carrying the dimmed gazes of so many who are gone.”
Between Cirey in 1735 and Paris in 1934 unfolds the exodus of four lovers who one day opened their eyes and discovered that God (if He truly exists), as soon as He created the world, packed His suitcase and went traveling—perhaps never to return. Émilie du Châtelet and Gerda Taro share several subtle links and one evident one: both are defenders of their own freedom, and both love and allow themselves to be loved with vehemence in order to find themselves. The former surrenders to the voluptuous intelligence of Voltaire, exiling herself by choice to study with him the equations of the universe and of the spirit; the latter subordinates the shutter of her gypsy Robert Capa to an ideal of equality in the midst of the horrors of fascism. Both are immersed in an endless search. The bridge between them is a letter written by the French mathematician in 1749, bequeathing her strength to the martyred photographer of the Spanish Civil War. This is an epic, intimate, seductive novel… readers will be grateful to hold it in their hands and will never be able to forget it.
