| Publisher Description: Segunda entrega de la serie del comisario Salvo Montalbano en la que su autor, Andrea Camilleri, ofrece al lector una imagen mucho m s profunda de la rica personalidad del melanc lico investigador siciliano. Un robo absurdo en un supermercado, el encarcelamiento un tanto estramb tico de un capo de la mafia, un asesinato cometido durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sin embargo, a pesar de la firme determinaci n con que Montalbano afronta la resoluci n de estos casos, su aut ntica pasi n es descifrar el contenido simb lico que encierran. «Todo crimen conlleva un mensaje, la cuesti n es conocer el c digo de quien lo ha escrito , le recuerda un exc ntrico sacerdote al comisario. As , el principal protagonista de esta novela -como de todas las que protagoniza Montalbano- es su particular forma de concebir el mundo. Los gestos, los detalles, las apariencias cobran un papel relevante, y el lenguaje se convierte en un instrumento clave para entender la realidad. Unas pocas pinceladas, unas breves palabras le bastan a Andrea Camilleri para dibujar un profundo retrato de cualquier personaje. Su especial destreza en obtener la complicidad del lector, dejando sutiles huellas que sirven de potencial punto de encuentro, no es ajena al extraordinario xito que ha cosechado con la serie de novelas del comisario Montalbano, verdadero h roe popular en Italia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "You either love Andrea Camilleri or you haven't read him yet. Each novel in this wholly addictive, entirely magical series, set in Sicily and starring a detective unlike any other in crime fiction, blasts the brain like a shot of pure oxygen. Aglow with local color, packed with flint-dry wit, as fresh and clean as Mediterranean seafood -- altogether transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano." A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano has garnered millions of fans worldwide with his sardonic take on Sicilian life. Montalbano's latest case begins with a mysterious t t t t with a Mafioso, some inexplicably abandoned loot from a supermarket heist, and dying words that lead him to an illegal arms cache in a mountain cave. There, the inspector finds two young lovers, dead for fifty years and still embracing, watched over by a life-sized terra-cotta dog. Montalbano's passion to solve this old crime takes him on a journey through Sicily's past and into one family's darkest secrets. With sly wit and a keen understanding of human nature, Montalbano is a detective whose earthiness, compassion, and imagination make him totally irresistable. |
