About the Book

La última novela del ganador del Premio Renaudot des Lycéens y una de las voces más importantes de la literatura francesa contemporánea.

«Una oda fascinante a la belleza, al arte y al amor.»Fabienne Pascaud, Télérama

Cuando, hace diez años, la mujer de Éric Reinhardt le anunció que tenía un cáncer de pecho, la noticia resultó devastadora para él. A la operación, el doloroso tratamiento, el cuidado de dos hijos pequeños, se sumaba la incapacidad que el escritor sentía para protegerla en su inmensa vulnerabilidad. Ella, sin embargo, le propuso un trato: él debía terminar su novela cuanto antes y ella debía curarse. El autor escribió febrilmente y cada noche le leía a su esposa fragmentos de su libro. Finalmente, la novela fue publicada, y su mujer se restableció. Inspirándose en esa vivencia, Reinhardt recrea la historia de Nicolas, un compositor de unos cuarenta años a quien su mujer enferma exhorta a que termine una sinfonía con la que, juntos, ganar la batalla. El dormitorio conyugal es una novela de introspección acerca del poder de la belleza, del arte y del amor y de su capacidad de salvar la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The latest novel by the winner of the Renaudot des Lycéens Prize and one of the most important voices in contemporary French literature.

"A fascinating ode to beauty, art, and love." -Fabienne Pascaud, Télérama

When Éric Reinhardt's wife announced ten years ago that she had breast cancer, the news was devastating for him. On top of the operation, the painful treatments, and taking care of two small children, the writer felt unable to protect her in her state of immense vulnerability. However, she proposed a deal: he would finish his novel as soon as possible, and she would beat cancer. The author wrote feverishly and each night, he read his wife passages of his book. Finally, the novel was published, and his wife recovered.

Inspired by this experience, Reinhardt gives us the story of Nicolas, a 40-year-old composer whose sick wife urges him to finish a symphony with which they will win the battle together. The Marriage Bed is a novel of introspection about the power of beauty, of art, and of love and its capacity to save lives.
About the Author: Éric Reinhardt es uno de los grandes nombres de la literatura francesa actual, alabado por sus incisivos retratos de las flaquezas e ilusiones de nuestra sociedad. Nacido en 1965 en Nancy, vive y trabaja en París. Es editor de libros de arte y colabora con artistas tan dispares como el coreógrafo Angelin Preljocaj, el arquitecto Christian de Portzamparc, la Agencia Magnum y el diseñador Christian Louboutin. Reinhardt es autor de varias novelas, entre las que destacan Le Moral des ménages, Cendrillon y El sistema Victoria, su primera novela traducida al español (Alfaguara, 2012), cuya polémica carga política y sexual conquistó por igual a la crítica y los lectores. Fue candidata a los premios Goncourt, Renaudot e Impac y galardonada con la Feuille d'or de la Ville de Nancy y con el Prix Trop Virilo. Su novela El amor y los bosques (Alfaguara, 2015), obtuvo el Premio Renaudot des Lycéens, fue candidata al Goncourt y finalista del Médicis. Su última novela, La habitación matrimonial, será publicada próximamente en Alfaguara. En 2012 recibió el Globe de Cristal d'Honneur por el conjunto de su obra.
