Un ensayo repleto de jugosas anécdotas que nos interpela y nos invita a revisar nuestra visión del matrimonio, el amor y la intimidad.
En toda relación sentimental existen dos relatos, dos versiones casi siempre superpuestas y algunas veces coincidentes. A partir de esta premisa, Vidas paralelas se asoma a la intimidad de cinco ilustres parejas de la época victoriana, cuando el divorcio era motivo de escándalo y el «hasta que la muerte nos separe» se tomaba en un sentido literal.
Combinando la erudición histórica y literaria, la crítica feminista y el «chismorreo de altura», Phyllis Rose somete a examen el desastroso matrimonio de Charles Dickens y Catherine Hogarth, pero también el romance de George Eliot con George Henry Lewes, curiosamente la pareja más feliz del libro y la única que no pisó el altar. Entre ambos extremos aparecen John Stuart Mill, empecinado en encarnar la igualdad de género; John Ruskin, incapaz de consumar el matrimonio en la noche de bodas, y Thomas Carlyle, que tuvo que leer los diarios de su esposa muerta para comprender lo desdichada que había sido a su lado.
Desde que se publicara en 1983, Vidas paralelas se ha convertido en un clásico de culto y un referente para escritoras de la talla de Hilary Mantel, Nora Ephron, Jia Tolentino y Sheila Heti. Su agudo análisis del matrimonio, como institución social y política, no ha perdido un ápice de vigencia y, todavía hoy, nos interpela y nos invita a cuestionar un molde narrativo que «ha determinado la historia de nuestras vidas en mayor medida de lo que solemos admitir».
La crítica ha dicho...
«El único libro que debes leer acerca del matrimonio.» Telegraph
«Sigue siendo tan fascinante y agudo como la primera vez que lo leí.» Hilary Mantel
«Muestra los entresijos del poder y la intimidad de manera tan incisiva que resulta adictiva; espero seguir comentando este libro con mis amigos durante mucho tiempo.» Jia Tolentino
«Leer a Rose es como recibir la llamada de una vieja amiga dispuesta a contarte el último chisme sobre los vecinos de al lado.» The Times
«Rose evita los juicios con la misma elegancia con la que evita los atajos del feminismo dogmático.» Aloma Rodríguez, La Lectura
