About the Book

La nueva novela de Manuel Vicent, una historia sobre el paraíso que un día todos decidimos perder. «Manuel Vicent es la alegría contagiosa de tener algo que contar y contarlo magistralmente.»
Justo Navarro, El País

«En este momento de la noche, bajo las estrellas, todo mi horizonte son tus labios

El amor de Dora Mayo, aspirante a actriz, y el exitoso empresario Pepe California parece vivir sus mejores y más ardientes días en el verano de 2016, cuando una regata congrega a lo más granado de la sociedad a orillas del Mediterráneo. Pero la muerte, que trastoca todo en los momentos más inesperados, acaba con la burbuja de esta relación de la que solo quedará un misterio por resolver: el de las firmes ataduras que no impiden escapar a Dora de la cama en la que termina abruptamente el trato de los dos amantes.

Manuel Vicent regresa en La regata a su territorio más querido. La ciudad de Circea, ya inmortalizada por el autor en Son de Mar, es el escenario en el que transcurre la historia. Pero casi nada queda del territorio ideal que fue esa Ítaca recreada en la novela ganadora del Premio Alfaguara en 1998. El dinero fácil, la corrupción, la importancia de las apariencias, los negocios conseguidos con malas artes, las relaciones superficiales y los intereses espurios han ido transformando el paisaje y a las personas. Del Mediterráneo bello e indomable, sensual y brillante, solo parecen quedar algún destello aislado y los recuerdos atesorados en la memoria de los que lo conocieron.

La elegante sutileza y el extraordinario manejo de la ironía que caracterizan al autor recorren cada página de esta historia sobre el paraíso que un día todos decidimos perder.

Reseñas:
«Dispara con balas elegantes.»
F.L. del Pino Olmedo, Qué Leer

«Vicent cuenta todo lo que sabíamos y algunas cosas más con exquisita elegancia, no exenta de virulencia poética cuando hace falta...»
J.J. Armas Marcelo, ABC Cultural

«Su gusto por el detallo no disminuye la contundencia gráfica. Cuando Vicent habla de algo lo ofrece abierto en la mesa de quirófano.»
David Trueba, Babelia

«Manuel Vicent es un ameno cronista y un fino retratista.»
Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo Español

«Manuel Vicent es un prosista lírico, un narrador de aromas, un metaforizador del costumbrismo, un realista de la prosa sonámbula [...]. El autor nos recuerda en buena prosa la efímera, la dulce felicidad prohibida que hemos sido.»
Luis Antonio de Villena, El MundoENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Manuel Vicent's latest novel, a story about a paradise that we all decided to forego.

"At this late hour and under the stars, my only horizon are your lips." The love between Dora Mayo, aspiring actress, and the successful entrepreneur Pepe California seems to be living its best and most passionate moments during the summer of 2016, when a regatta gathers society's most elites off the Mediterranean shores. But death, always disrupting everything in the most unexpected ways, ends with this seemingly perfect relationship and only leaves a mystery that remains to be solved: like those invisible bonds that keep Dora in the bed where the lovers' affaire abruptly ends.

The elegant subtlety and extraordinary handling of the irony that characterizes the author, is vibrant in every page of this story about a paradise that we all decided to forego.
