Description
Una escritora galardonada de ficción absorbente y sofisticada ofrece una novela elegante y propulsora arraigada en la Nueva York de principios del siglo XX, sobre la riqueza y el talento, la confianza y la intimidad, la verdad y la percepción. En la glamorosa ciudad de Nueva York de la década de 1920, dos personajes de gusto sofisticado se unen. Uno es un magnate legendario de Wall Street; la otra, la brillante hija de aristócratas pobres. Empapado de riqueza y grandeza, su matrimonio suscita chismes y permite un ascenso continuo, todo en un momento en que el país está experimentando una gran transformación. Esta es la historia central de la novela Bonds de Harold Vanner, que todo el mundo en Nueva York de 1938 parece haber leído. Pero no es la única versión. Provocadora, propulsora y repetidamente sorprendente, TRUST de Hernán Díaz pone la historia de estos personajes en conversación con "la verdad", y en tensión con la vida y la perspectiva de un extraño inmerso en el misterio de un relato en competencia. El resultado es una novela general que se vuelve más emocionante y profunda con cada nueva capa y revelación, involucrando al lector en una búsqueda del tesoro por la verdad que confronta la atracción gravitacional del dinero que distorsiona la realidad y cómo el poder a menudo manipula los hechos.
Description
An award-winning writer of absorbing, sophisticated fiction delivers a stylish and propulsive novel rooted in early 20th century New York, about wealth and talent, trust and intimacy, truth and perception. In glamorous 1920s New York City, two characters of sophisticated taste come together. One is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; the other, the brilliant daughter of penniless aristocrats. Steeped in affluence and grandeur, their marriage excites gossip and allows a continued ascent--all at a moment when the country is undergoing a great transformation. This is the story at the center of Harold Vanner's novel Bonds, which everyone in 1938 New York seems to have read. But it isn't the only version. Provocative, propulsive, and repeatedly surprising, Hernan Diaz's TRUST puts the story of these characters into conversation with the "the truth"--and in tension with the life and perspective of an outsider immersed in the mystery of a competing account. The result is an overarching novel that becomes more exhilarating and profound with each new layer and revelation, engaging the reader in a treasure hunt for the truth that confronts the reality-warping gravitational pull of money, and how power often manipulates facts.
