En cartoné, de las memorias aplicadas de Vigoleis, traducción de J. Adsuar, 1008 pgs. Era agosto de 1931, Vigoleis y Beatrice llegan a Mallorca alarmados por la supuesta agonía mortal de Zwingli, hermano de Beatrice, que en realidad es víctima de una pasión autodestructiva por Pilar, una prostituta tan bella como peligrosa. La visita se convierte en una larga estancia en la isla de cinco años que finaliza con el levantamiento franquista y la consiguiente huida de la pareja. Durante este tiempo, descrito y recuperado en esta novela de corte autobiográfico, Vigoleis, escritor heterodoxo, traductor, mecanógrafo, guía turístico, y Beatrice, profesora de idiomas, sobreviven a la miseria a través de las circunstancias más estrambóticas y en compañía de los más esperpénticos personajes. Testimonio mordaz de una época, el principio de los años treinta, y de un ambiente concreto, el cerrado mundo insular invadido por todo tipo de exiliados, las memorial de Vigoleis transcienden, sin embargo, lo inmediato, y apuntan a un género más definido por el tono suspicaz, hilarante y tragicómico del autor que por su vivencia personal. Descabellado calidoscopio de imágenes, situaciones, pensamientos y anécdotas, relato picaresco que mezcla magistralmente los eternos antagonistas de la precariedad y el humor, La isla del segundo rostro es la apabullante obra maestra de un intelectual que, rebosante de ironía y complicidad, se enfrenta a la locura del mundo con un ánimo tan marcado por la sabiduría como por una extraña suerte de piedad.…
