Synopsis "Atentado (in Spanish)"

Epiphane Otos es feo, tan extremadamente feo que su fealdad sobrepasa cualquier límite y provoca el espanto de los transeúntes que se cruzan con él en la calle. Consciente de su horrible aspecto, renunció pronto a las delicias del amor, pero a los veintinueve años conoce a la hermosa Ethel: una joven actriz que encarna su ideal de belleza. Ethel, además, parece ignorar el físico de Epiphane, con lo que éste se entrega a la silenciosa adoración de la muchacha y se convierten en compañeros inseparables. Fortalecidos por el amor, el protagonista llega incluso a hacerse célebre utilizando su repulsiva figura. Todo parece sonreírle, hasta que entra en escena el bello Xavier, un egocéntrico pintor totalmente indigno ?según Epiphane? de aspirar a los favores de su dama. Sobre este triángulo grotesco Amélie Nothomb desarrolla una nueva novela, siempre ágil, que confirma su brillante talento para el trazado de personajes y situaciones extremas. Supone además una agridulce reflexión sobre ética y estética en el mundo contemporáneo y, sobre todo, un estimulante estudio acerca de la pasión que no excluye la crueldad y el humor.

Amélie Nothomb (Kobe, Japan, 1967), born as Fabienne Claire Nothomb, is an acclaimed Belgian writer in the French language and a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium. Although she comes from a renowned Brussels family, she spent her childhood and youth in Asia, where her father, a diplomat, served in countries such as China and Japan. This multicultural experience has left a deep imprint on her work, characterized by her witty style, psychological sharpness, and her ability to explore universal themes with a touch of irony and black humor. She currently resides in Paris, from where she continues to establish herself as one of the most original voices in contemporary literature

Since her first novel in 1992 with Hygiene of the Assassin, Nothomb has published more than thirty novels, earning a prominent place in the international literary scene. Her work, translated into numerous languages, has been awarded prizes such as the Leteo Cultural Award (2006) and the Grand Prix Jean Giono (2008), accolades that highlight the quality and originality of her narrative. With agile prose and boundless imagination, Nothomb continues to captivate readers around the world.
