Overview
Al mejor estilo de Joseph Conrad, Stefan Zweig o Ambrose Bierce, Francisco Pérez de Antón nos presenta ochorelatos turbadores cuyos protagonistas tratan de cambiar el destino fatal que parece marcar sus vidas.
Estos son los sugerentes títulos: «Un agujero en el queso», «O César o nada», «El apagón», «¿Dónde están los payasos?», «Atracción fatal», «Apóstata, zascandil, delator, espía», «La ninfa de la fuente de Gobia» y «El arte de burlar a la muerte», que da título al libro y narra lo ocurrido la noche en que Sherezade se salvó de ser degollada gracias a las historias que el autor pone en boca de ella.
Inmersos en diferentes tiempos históricos, sus originales tramas e inesperados desenlaces conforman un colorido mosaico literario donde los múltiples estilos narrativos potencian el propósito de emocionar, sorprender y entretener al lector.
Vamos en busca de buenas historias, bien contadas, como las que Pérez de Antón nos presenta en este volumen, fuera de colección, con las que podremos comprobar la capacidad curativa de la lectura y, tal vez, burlar a la muerte.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In the best Joseph Conrad, Stefan Zweig, or Ambrose Bierce style, Francisco Pérez de Antón presents eight disturbing short stories in which the protagonists try to change the doomed fate that seems to chart the course of their lives.
These are their enticing titles: “A Hole in the Cheese,” “Cesar or Nothing,” “The Blackout,” “Where Are the Clowns?” “Fatal Attraction,” “Apostate, Loafer, Whistleblower, Spy,” “The Nymph in the Fountain of Gobia,” and “The Art of Cheating Death,” which gives the book its title and narrates what happened the night Scheherazade saved herself from being beheaded because of the stories the author put in her mouth.
Immersed in different historical times, these original plots with unexpected outcomes make a colorful literary mosaic where multiple narrative styles enhance the purpose of thrilling, surprising, and entertaining the reader.
We are looking for good stories, well told, just like the ones Pérez de Antón presents in this volume, not included in any collection, with which we might demonstrate the healing capacity of reading, and maybe even cheat death.
