escrita con un estilo seco, conciso,
vibrante, con una tensión que va
en aumento, El túnel es una historia
de amor, obsesión, celos y muerte,
en la que el enamorado, el narrador,
un conocido pintor, mata a la joven
de la que se enamora. Que nadie
crea que le he estropeado la novela,
pues está arranca así : ¨Bastará decir
que soy Juan Pablo Castel, el pintor
que mató a María Iribarne¨. Desde
el primer intento Sábato envuelve
con precisión e ¨imparcialidad¨
propias del modo científico la
descripción de un volcán interior
a punto de entrar en erupción. En
su espantoso itinerario, las dudas
del protagonista expresadas en
pensamientos lógicos dan incesantes
vueltas y revueltas en busca de la
verdad o la normalidad, hasta desaparecer
por un sumidero: Castel, que se creía
un superhombre, descubrirá que también
él es mezquino, sucio y pérfido
[pérfido] Persona que es desleal a alguien que confía en él y muy malo.
(Este libro no es mio solo lo estoy pasando aquí porque me gusto mucho espero que lo disfuten.)
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
