Synopsis "La Función Delta (Narrativa (Punto de Lectura)) (Spanish Edition) (in Spanish)"

Una historia inquietante, una novela para todo el mundo ya que refleja una serie de posiciones ante la vida, el amor y la muerte.En La función Delta, Rosa Montero juega con dos momentos de la vida de un personaje, Lucía, a la que veremos con treinta y sesenta años, es decir, en su (tal vez ilusorio) triunfante asentamiento y su posterior declive. ¿Qué somos capaces de hacer para no quedarnos solos en la recta final de la vida? Y es que el miedo a la muerte condiciona buena parte de nuestra existencia. A pesar de sus estrepitosos fracasos, la protagonista buscará sin desfallecer a la persona que habrá de acompañarla hasta su último suspiro, pues la soledad le resulta más insoportable que ir de un desamor a otro. La confrontación de la entrada en la madurez con la vejez da lugar a valiosas reflexiones sobre la sexualidad, la relación con los otros y la propia identidad.La función Delta es una historia inquietante, una novela para todo el mundo ya que refleja una serie de posiciones ante la vida, el amor y la muerte.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn La función Delta, Rosa Montero plays with two distinct time periods in the life of a fictional character named Lucía. Despite every resounding failure, Lucía continues her tireless search for that one person who will grow old with her, because she finds that being alone is more unbearable than having her heart broken again and again. Through Lucía, Rosa Montero illustrates the various stances a person can take before life, love, and death, and makes us question what we are capable of to avoid dying alone.
