Overview
Tres clásicos modernos alumbrados por el trazo acuático y evocador del ilustrador Pau Gasol Valls.
«John Cheever es un realista con magia, y su voz, en sus luminosos relatos, es tan rica y distintiva como las principales voces de la literatura estadounidense de posguerra». -Philip Roth
Los cuentos de John Cheever son el testimonio literario esencial de la clase media estadounidense de los años cincuenta y sesenta. Conocido como «el Chéjov de los suburbios», retrató con maestría la vida en las zonas residenciales a las afueras de las grandes ciudades. En ese escenario de aparente éxito y felicidad, supo descubrir la belleza y el drama cotidiano de familias marcadas por la frustración, el deseo y el tedio, componiendo un retrato profundo del alma humana que trasciende el tiempo y las fronteras.
Muestra de ello son sus tres cuentos más emblemáticos: «El nadador», retrato onírico de un hombre a la deriva, «Adiós hermano mío», una obra maestra que explora la tensión entre dos hermanos con visiones opuestas de la vida, y «El marido rural», novela en miniatura según Nabokov cuyo protagonista sobrevive a un accidente de avión y vuelve a casa ante la indiferencia total de su familia. Tres relatos que siempre acompañarán al lector, alumbrados por el trazo acuático y evocador del ilustrador Pau Gasol Valls.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Three modern classics illuminated by the fluid, evocative artwork of illustrator Pau Gasol Valls.
“John Cheever is a realist with magic, and his voice, in his luminous stories, is as rich and distinctive as the major voices of postwar American literature.” —Philip Roth
John Cheever’s stories are the essential literary record of the American middle class in the 1950s and 1960s. Known as “the Chekhov of the suburbs,” he masterfully portrayed life in the residential neighborhoods on the outskirts of major cities. In these settings of apparent success and happiness, he revealed the beauty and quiet drama of families marked by frustration, desire, and monotony—creating a profound portrait of the human soul that transcends time and borders.
This collection features his three most emblematic stories: “The Swimmer,” a dreamlike portrait of a man adrift; “Goodbye, My Brother,” a masterpiece exploring the tension between two brothers with opposing views of life, and “The Country Husband,” a miniature novel, according to Nabokov, about a man who survives a plane crash only to return home to his family’s utter indifference. Three unforgettable tales that will stay forever with the reader, brought to life by Pau Gasol Valls’ delicate and evocative illustrations.
