En la Barcelona modernista germina una historia de amor entre dos jóvenes de clases sociales distintas. Una gran novela histórica de pasión, ideales y venganza.
A finales del siglo XIX, Barcelona vive una época de esplendor. Acaba de celebrarse con gran éxito la Exposición Universal y una burguesía próspera y culta, que busca inspiración en los salones parisinos, exhibe su elegancia en fiestas y veladas musicales. Pero al otro lado de la ciudad, donde las calles se estrechan y huelen a pobreza, el rencor y la injusticia están fraguando una revolución capaz de recurrir a la violencia más descarnada.
Práxedes Ripoll dirige con mano de hierro a los obreros de la fábrica que lleva su nombre, pero no consigue que sus hijos vayan por el camino que él pretende. El mayor, Germán, es un vividor que goza del favor de las mujeres y disfruta de los placeres que le ofrece la Barcelona más canalla mientras que el menor, Antonio, está decidido a abrazar el sacerdocio para el resto de sus días. Y Candela, su joven y rebelde sobrina, que no está conforme con el papel que destina para la mujer la machista sociedad de la época, tampoco está dispuesta a seguir sus designios.
Y es que, desde hace un tiempo, Candela se ve a escondidas con Juan Pedro Bonafont, el hijo de la costurera; un muchacho de mirada franca y amante de los libros de quien se ha enamorado perdidamente. Un amor imposible para las rígidas costumbre de los Ripoll, quienes no dudarán en usar todos los medios a su alcance para frustrar los planes de la pareja.
Con la habilidad de los grandes maestros de la novela histórica, Chufo Lloréns teje un tapiz geográfico y humano apasionante. Su pluma ágil y perspicaz nos conduce desde los lujosos reservados del teatro del Liceo hasta los lóbregos sótanos donde se tramaban las conjeturas anarquistas, mientras el destino de los personajes se va trenzando en una Barcelona que se debate entre la atracción por la modernidad y el miedo a unos cambios sociales violentos e inevitables.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Esta lectura depara excelentes páginas que son pura crónica de los episodios más o menos felices de esta ciudad.»
Lilian Neuman, Culturas, La Vanguardia
«Descripciones minuciosas, diálogos precisos, una documentación que se disuelve en intriga, y unos personajes en tres dimensiones hacen de la lectura una adicción.»
Víctor Fernández, La Razón

About the Author
Chufo Lloréns (Barcelona, 1931) estudió Derecho, si bien desarrolló su actividad como empresario en el mundo del espectáculo. Desde siempre apasionado por la Historia, inició su carrera literaria en la década de los ochenta.
Entre sus obras destacan Catalina, la fugitiva de San Benito (2008), La otra lepra (2010) y La saga de los malditos (2011), todas ellas publicadas en Debolsillo. Te daré la tierra (Grijalbo, 2008) y Mar de fuego (Grijalbo, 2011), ambas ambientadas en la Barcelona medieval, fueron grandes éxitos de ventas y le han convertido en uno de los autores más reputados entre los lectores de novela histórica tanto en España como en el extranjero. Los derechos de traducción se han vendido en doce países, sumando más de 1.250.000 ejemplares en todo el mundo.
Tras ese aclamado díptico medieval, Chufo Lloréns retomaría otro periodo histórico, la Barcelona modernista, para su monumental La ley de los justos (Grijalbo, 2015) y ampliaría sus horizontes narrativos con El destino de los héroes (Grijalbo, 2020), donde nos ofreció una intensa visión de las primeras décadas del siglo XX y de los grandes conflictos que se vivieron en Europa y España.
En su última novela, La vida que nos separa, Chufo Lloréns nos sumerge en unas décadas clave en la historia reciente de España, desde el tardofranquismo hasta la eclosión de la democracia, para narrarnos la vida de una mujer difícil de olvidar.
