About the Book

Tras ponerse en la piel de Chandler, Banville se disfraza de Henry James.

La última proeza literaria del Premio Príncipe de Asturias: un doble clásico moderno.

«Uno de los mejores libros del año.».-The Guardian

Huyendo de Roma y de un matrimonio demoledor, Isabel Osmond viaja a Londres, donde se repone de la reciente revelación de la traición de su marido durante largos años. ¿Qué hacer ahora, qué camino debería seguir, y cuál es la salida del complejo laberinto emocional en el que lleva tanto tiempo atrapada? Bajo el estímulo del dolor y la certeza de haber sido seriamente agraviada, está determinada a reemprender la búsqueda de libertad e independencia que animó su juventud. Pero debe regresar a Italia y enfrentarse a Gilbert Osmond y deshacerse de su poderoso yugo. ¿Logrará burlar su influencia y afianzar su venganza?

La señora Osmond es una proeza literaria con el Retrato de una dama de Henry James como telón de fondo: una novela magistral sobre la deslealtad, la corrupción y la ambigüedad moral, y el soberbio retrato de una heroína inolvidable.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea, a dazzling and audacious new novel that extends the story of Isabel Archer, the heroine of Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady, into unexpected territory.

Isabel Archer is a young American woman, swept off to Europe in the late nineteenth century by an aunt who hopes to round out the impetuous but naïve girl's experience of the world. When Isabel comes into a large, unexpected inheritance, she is finagled into a marriage with the charming, penniless, and--as Isabel finds out too late--cruel and deceitful Gilbert Osmond, whose connection to a certain Madame Merle is suspiciously intimate. On a trip to England to visit her cousin Ralph Touchett on his deathbed, Isabel is offered a chance to free herself from the marriage, but nonetheless chooses to return to Italy. Banville follows James's story line to this point, but Mrs. Osmond is thoroughly Banville's own: the narrative inventiveness; the lyrical precision and surprise of his language; the layers of emotional and psychological intensity; the subtle, dark humor. And when Isabel arrives in Italy--along with someone else!--the novel takes off in directions that James himself would be thrilled to follow.
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 además por el Irish Book Award como mejor novela del año. Entre su obra destacan también El intocable (Alfaguara, 2015), Los infinitos y la Trilogía «Cleave», ciclo de novelas que incluye Eclipse (Alfaguara, 2014), Imposturas (Alfaguara, 2015), Antigua luz (Alfaguara, 2012), uno de los mejores libros del año según la crítica y La guitarra azul (Alfaguara, 2016). Bajo el seudónimo de Benjamin Black ha publicado en Alfaguara, con gran éxito de público y de crítica, El lémur (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 Órdenes sagradas(2015)-, y La rubia de ojos negros (2014), en la que, por invitación de los herederos de Raymond Chandler, resucita al mítico detective Philip Marlowe. En 2011 recibió 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 España, con el Premio Leteo y el Premio Liber. En 2014 le fue otorgado el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras, por «su inteligente, honda y original creación novelesca» y por «su otro yo, Benjamin Black, autor de turbadoras y críticas novelas policiacas». Regreso a Birchwood y La señora Osmond son las próximas novelas del autor en Alfaguara.
