About the Book

Con ocasión del cuadrigentésimo aniversario de la muerte de William Shakespeare surge «The Hogarth Shakespeare», un proyecto internacional que selecciona a célebres autores contemporáneos para que reinterpreten las obras del genio inglés.

Anne Tyler ofrece en Corazón de vinagre su visión de La fierecilla salvaje, y aprovecha su aportación al proyecto para abordar dos problemas contemporáneos: la situación del inmigrante y la emancipación de las mujeres.

Kate Battista anda por la vida con el paso firme de quien nunca duda, pero procura que su pelo largo caiga hacia delante para esconder su mirada angustiada. ¿Cómo es posible que una mujer hecha y derecha haya acabado haciéndose cargo de una familia excéntrica, donde todo parece gobernado por las fórmulas científicas del padre y los caprichos de una hermana adolescente? Por si eso fuera poco, en el parvulario donde trabaja las cosas no están en su mejor momento: los niños la adoran, pero sus padres no aprecian ciertas opiniones de Kate, que peca de una insólita sinceridad.

Un buen día, alguien aparece en el horizonte y en la mesa de Kate con una bolsa llena de barritas de chocolate: es Pioter Cherbakov, el hombre que asiste a su padre en el laboratorio, un lugar inhóspito donde los dos trabajan a destajo para llevar adelante un experimento muy importante. Pioter viene de lejos, su permiso de residencia está a punto de caducar y lo echarán del país a menos que el joven y brillante investigador no tenga motivos familiares para quedarse, y el doctor Battista ha encontrado una solución ingeniosa...

Kate se indigna, protesta, pero habrá que leer hasta la última página de esta brillante versión de La fierecilla domada de William Shakespeare para saber cómo Anne Tyler ha seguido los hilos de una historia clásica y finalmente la ha hecho muy suya y muy hermosa.

Reseñas:
«Shakespeare estaría encantado, se lo aseguro... novelas como esta nos sirven para saber dónde estamos y de dónde venimos. Corazón de vinagre nos habla de lo cotidiano, de lo fugaz, pero lo que propone da que pensar.»
Jane Smiley, New York Times Book Review

«La agudeza de Tyler consiste en su forma de mirar.»
El Mundo

ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONPulitzer Prize winner and American master Anne Tyler brings us an inspired, witty and irresistible contemporary take on one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies Kate Battista feels stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and uppity, pretty younger sister Bunny? Plus, she's always in trouble at work - her pre-school charges adore her, but their parents don't always appreciate her unusual opinions and forthright manner. Dr. Battista has other problems. After years out in the academic wilderness, he is on the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There's only one problem: his brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, all would be lost. When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying - as usual - on Kate to help him. Kate is furious: this time he's really asking too much. But will she be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to bring her around?
