Nueva novela de uno de los autores franceses más estimados en España.
«Una magnífica exploración de la naturaleza humana.»
Lire Magazine Littéraire
Autor de novelas ya clásicas como Almas grises y El informe de Brodeck, Philippe Claudel nos sorprende de nuevo con El crepúsculo, una hermosa novela alegórica que aborda, con lirismo y humor, cuestiones de candente actualidad, nos invita a reflexionar sobre algunos de nuestros desafueros contemporáneos y nos sumerge en las zonas más sombrías del alma humana.
En las fronteras del Imperio se extiende una provincia desnuda y mineral donde el frío, la escarcha y el ritmo lento de los largos inviernos parecen adormecer a los habitantes de un pequeño pueblo. Pero ese estado apacible se trastoca de golpe cuando el párroco es descubierto una mañana con la cabeza destrozada por una piedra. ¿Cuál es el móvil del crimen? ¿Quién podría guardar tanto rencor en un lugar donde las comunidades religiosas siempre han vivido en armonía? El caso es confiado a Nurio, un policía que con demasiada frecuencia se deja llevar por sus pasiones y que en compañía de su fiel asistente Baraj, un gigante distinguido con alma de poeta, deberá desenmascarar al culpable, que podría estar escondido entre la población musulmana. Pero ¿tiene interés acaso el Imperio en desenmascarar al verdadero asesino?
Con un lenguaje onírico y expresivo, que hace brotar destellos de luz con cada palabra, y un retrato colorido de los personajes y los escenarios, Philippe Claudel nos ofrece un relato tan escalofriante como cautivador sobre las inquietudes del mundo presente y futuro. Con la apariencia de una investigación policial y la fuerza irresistible de un imán, El crepúsculo nos mantiene atrapados desde el principio hasta el final.
