Synopsis "El Asedio (in Spanish)"

PREMIO DAGGER DE NOVELA NEGRA¿Puede ser una coincidencia que una muchacha muera a latigazos donde acaba de caer una bomba? ¿Puede jugarse una partida de ajedrez usando como escenario una ciudad sitiada?El asedio es la novela mas enigmatica de Arturo Perez-ReverteCadiz, 1811. España lucha por su independencia mientras America lo hace por la suya. En las calles de la ciudad mas liberal de Europa se libran batallas de otra indole. Mujeres jovenes aparecen desolladas a latigazos. En cada lugar, antesdel hallazgo del cadaver, ha caido una bomba francesa. Eso traza sobre la ciudad un mapa superpuesto y siniestro: un complejo tablero de ajedrez donde la mano de un jugador oculto -un asesino despiadado, el azar, las curvas de artilleria, la direccion de los vientos, el calculo de probabilidades- mueve piezas que deciden el destino de los protagonistas: un policia corrupto y brutal, la heredera de una importante casa comercial gaditana, un capitan corsario de pocos escrupulos, un taxidermista misantropo y espia, un enternecedor guerrillero de las salinas y un excentrico artillero a quien las guerras importan menos que resolver el problema tecnico del corto alcance de sus obuses.El asedio narra el pulso asombroso de un mundo que pudo ser y no fue. El fin de una epoca y unos personajes condenados por la Historia, sentenciados a un vida que, como la ciudad que los alberga -una Cadiz equivoca, enigmatica, solo en apariencia luminosa y blanca-, nunca volvera a ser la misma.

Victor Hugo

View Author's Page
Victor Marie Hugo (Besançon, France, 1802 - 1885) was a writer, poet, playwright, and French politician, a central figure of Romanticism and one of the most influential literary voices of the 19th century. His work includes emblematic novels such as Les Misérables (1862), which denounces social injustice in 19th century France, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831), which powerfully portrays life in medieval Paris. In theater, he revolutionized the genre with plays like Hernani (1830) and Cromwell (1827), while his poetry, highlighted in collections such as Les Contemplations (1856) and The Legend of the Centuries (1859-1883), combines lyricism and social commitment

Exiled for about 20 years due to his opposition to the regime of Napoleon III, he produced many of his most significant works during this period, also expanding his political work as a deputy and senator after his return. He was recognized with membership in the French Academy and the Legion of Honor. His literary and political legacy remains a benchmark for social justice and artistic expression.
