About the Book

Un estudio del deseo y la identidad. Una novela magistral y conmovedora de la mano del Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras John Banville. Axel Vander, anciano dandi de las letras, no es el hombre que aparenta ser. Cuando recibe una carta misteriosa que amenaza con desvelar sus secretos, viaja a Turín para encontrarse con su autora. Allí, nublado por la edad y el alcohol e incapaz de distinguir entre realidad y ficción, se enfrentará cara a cara con Cass Cleave, la mujer que tiene el poder de desenmascararlo. ¿Qué fin persigue la joven, destruir a Vander o salvarlo? Atrapados en una realidad distorsionada, ambos personajes gravitan el uno hacia el otro en una relación oscura y perturbadora, condenada al desastre desde el primer momento. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One part Nietzsche, one part Humbert Humbert, and a soupcon of Milton's Lucifer, Axel Vander, the dizzyingly unreliable narrator of John Banville's masterful new novel, is very old, recently widowed, and the bearer of a fearsome reputation as a literary dandy and bully. A product of the Old World, he is also an escapee from its conflagrations, with the wounds to prove it. And everything about him is a lie. Now those lies have been unraveled by a mysterious young woman whom Vander calls "Miss Nemesis." They are to meet in Turin, a city best known for its enigmatic shroud. Is her purpose to destroy Vander or to save him--or simply to show him what lies beneath the shroud in which he has wrapped his life? A splendidly moving exploration of identity, duplicity, and desire, Shroud is Banville's most rapturous performance to date.
About the Author: John Banville (Wexford, Irlanda, 1945) ha trabajado como editor de The Irish Times y es habitual colaborador de The New York Review of Books. Con El libro de las pruebas (Alfaguara, 2014) fue finalista del Premio Booker, que obtuvo en 2005 con El mar, consagrada ademas por el Irish Book Award como mejor novela del ano. Entre su obra destacan tambien El intocable (Alfaguara, 2015), Los infinitos y la Trilogia Cleave, ciclo de novelas que incluye Eclipse (Alfaguara, 2014), Imposturas (Alfaguara, 2015), Antigua luz (Alfaguara, 2012), uno de los mejores libros del ano segun la critica y La guitarra azul (Alfaguara, 2016). Bajo el seudonimo de Benjamin Black ha publicado en Alfaguara, con gran exito de publico y de critica, El lemur (2009), la serie de novela negra protagonizada por el doctor Quirke -El secreto de Christine (2007), El otro nombre de Laura (2008), En busca de April (2011), Muerte en verano (2012), Venganza (2013) y Ordenes sagradas (2015)-, y La rubia de ojos negros (2014), en la que, por invitacion de los herederos de Raymond Chandler, resucita al mitico detective Philip Marlowe. En 2011 recibio el prestigioso Premio Franz Kafka, considerado por muchos como la antesala del Premio Nobel, y en 2013 fue galardonado con el Premio Austriaco de Literatura Europea, y, en Espana, con el Premio Leteo y el Premio Liber. En 2014 le fue otorgado el Premio Principe de Asturias de las Letras, por su inteligente, honda y original creacion novelesca y por su otro yo, Benjamin Black, autor de turbadoras y criticas novelas policiacas. Regreso a Birchwood y La senora Osmond son las proximas novelas del autor en Alfaguara.
