«Un relato impresionante y sobrecogedor». ANDRÉ ACIMAN, autor de Llámame por tu nombre
Con más de 120.000 ejemplares vendidos, traducida a más de 20 idiomas y adaptada a la gran pantalla, llega la historia más aclamada de uno de los autores franceses más importantes de los últimos tiempos.
Una obra que subraya, empezando por el título, hasta qué punto elegir la verdad puede ser un acto de heroísmo.
Estando de paseo por su región natal, el narrador, que no es otro que Philippe Besson, ve en el vestíbulo del hotel a un joven cuyo parecido con su primer amor lo golpea como un puñetazo. A partir de ahí, retrocede veinticinco años en el tiempo hasta el primer encuentro entre dos adolescentes totalmente opuestos: uno, más bien tímido, es hijo de profesor, alumno aplicado y lector empedernido; el otro, Thomas, es hijo de campesinos, rebelde, carismático y misterioso, ídolo de las chicas del instituto.
Desde el primer momento, la atracción entre ellos es inmediata, sin equívoco. Los encuentros clandestinos que vienen después se bañan en una fascinación teñida de culpabilidad y de negación. El secreto que los envuelve los hace mucho más intensos. Sin embargo, Thomas se muestra incapaz de expresar sus sentimientos y de aceptar lo que es. Desaparece de la vida del narrador tan súbitamente como había entrado, dejando al joven Philippe con la herida de un primer amor inconcluso.
Cuando era pequeño, mi madre no paraba de repetirme: «Deja de decir mentiras». Al parecer, inventaba tan bien las historias que al final ella no era capaz de distinguir lo verdadero de lo falso. Acabé convirtiéndolo en oficio: me hice novelista. Hoy obedezco, por fin, a mi madre: digo la verdad. Por primera vez. En este libro. Por si acaso, aviso: no hay ajuste de cuentas, ni violencia, ni neurosis familiar. Pero sí un amor. Un amor inmenso y mantenido en secreto que al final volvió a buscarme.
«Con una prosa delicada y contenida, Besson captura el instante exacto en que el deseo se convierte en memoria. Breve, intensa y honesta. Una novela que retrata, sin pudor ni alardes, la valentía de quien ama por primera vez». DAVID MORAGAS, autor de Fervor
«Una descripción realmente emotiva del primer amor. Tierna y elegíaca a la vez». JOHN BOYNE, autor best seller de El niño con el pijama de rayas
«Una preciosa y desgarradora novela sobre el deseo y la vergu?enza, sobre el apasionamiento de la juventud y los remordimientos de la madurez». OLIVIA LAING, autora de La ciudad solitaria
