| Publisher Description: Novela sobre la fatalidad, el exilio, el amor o la familia, Brooklyn es una historia para siempre, due a de un poder emocional sobrecogedor. Con la templanza, el virtuosismo y la perspicacia psicol gica del maestro contempor neo que es, Colm T ib n, uno de los mejores escritores irlandeses de nuestros d as, ha construido una historia estremecedora sobre el destino cuya di fana superficie esconde un fondo donde se abisma una complejidad inagotable. Eilis Lacey es una chica de familia humilde que, como tantos otros, no encuentra trabajo en el peque o pueblo del sudeste de Irlanda en el que vive. Por ello, cuando se le ofrece un puesto en Norteam rica no duda en aceptarlo. Poco a poco, Eilis se abre paso en el Brooklyn de los a os cincuenta y, a despecho de la nostalgia y los rigores del exilio, encuentra incluso un primer amor y la promesa de una nueva vida. Inesperadamente, sin embargo, tr gicas noticias de Irlanda le obligan a regresa y enfrentarse a todo aquello de lo que ha huido. Rese a: Desde la primera l nea en una historia de Colm T ib n uno est sumergido por completo en una conciencia. Da igual que sea una novela o un cuento. La inmersi n es la misma, y no cesa hasta el final. Antonio Mu oz Molina, El Pa s Brooklyn-, de T ib n, una historia de premios scar. Daniela Mendoza, La Raz n ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking, Colm T ib n's sixth novel, Brooklyn, is set in Brooklyn and Ireland in the early 1950s, when one young woman crosses the ocean to make a new life for herself. Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland in the years following World War Two. Though skilled at bookkeeping, she cannot find a job in the miserable Irish economy. When an Irish priest from Brooklyn to sponsor Eilis in America -- to live and work in a Brooklyn neighborhood "just like Ireland" -- she decides she must go, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind. Eilis finds work in a department store on Fulton Street, and when she least expects it, finds love. Tony, a blond Italian from a big family, slowly wins her over with patient charm. He takes Eilis to Coney Island and Ebbets Field, and home to dinner in the two-room apartment he shares with his brothers and parents. He talks of having children who are Dodgers fans. But just as Eilis begins to fall in love with Tony, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future. By far T ib n's most instantly engaging and emotionally resonant novel, Brooklyn will make readers fall in love with his gorgeous writing and spellbinding characters. |
