La guerra del Golfo ¿ocurrió? ¿Y los Juegos Olímpicos de Barcelona? ¿Están ustedes seguros de que en Sevilla se organizó una Exposición Universal en 1992? En la línea de la fábula satírica, en los límites de la melancolía y el sarcasmo, Carvalho protagoniza un ajuste de cuentas con el año prodigioso, 1992, desde la perspectiva de un mundo en crisis que en 1993 ha olvidado todos los autos sacramentales de la modernidad. Eso sí, Carvalho sigue siendo Carvalho, Biscuter, Biscuter y Charo... reaparece. The first book I read by Montalban. His detective fiction is good, lifted out of subgenre by its ambiguous plot and epicurean lead, whose fondness for food and wine is infectious. The most interesting aspect of "An Olympic Death" is the confrontation between old and new, between the lush luxuriousness of the new Barcelona of the olympic era, and the old Catalan sidestreets and alleyways. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SeriePepe Carvalho (16)
As Barcelona prepares for the Games, the city is turned over to make way for new roads, a new stadium and the giant prawns of Mariscal. Private Investigator Pepe Carvalho ? who remembers the good old days when a hammer always came with a sickle ? now finds himself forced to work for Olympic entrepreneurs whose only game plan is to make a fast buck. As Montalb'n's overweight hero cruises the backstreets of the Barcelona dream, finding dead bodies and broken socialist promises, he remembers an older, seedier Barcelona hidden behind the shiny new Olympic City. Like his beloved city, Carvalho is forced to confront the sins of the past. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
