In the singular, decadent and transformative space of the interwar period in Europe, the writers and weight of the moment passed through their pages personal regrets, political disagreements and deformed social portraits.
It seems as if only they, the creators and artists could know that they lived in a parenthesis of pessimism where the weapons had only been left in storage for close use.
Malcolm Lowry He was a writer, one of those who moved between the shadows of the near gloomy past of the First World War and the new political mists that heralded the arrival of the replica of a new war earthquake. The thoughts of this author are extremely interesting from the human and social. Lowry's pen brings us the story of those days, told with the ravishing beauty of life as an exception, of survival like a current that clouded every other idea.
An interesting and profound novel translated into Spanish for the first time. A wonderful opportunity to hear this interesting voice from the past with echoes of universality. Beyond his best-known work Under the Volcano, this novel maintains that autobiographical point of a writer steeped in bloody realities and his particular demons.
In a historical scenario like the one in which he lived, the author is torn between the foundation of his thought and the difficult fit in political ideologies that seem to be emerging with devastating desire, with the ultimate intention of imposing, in a world subjected to drift from the deepest spirit of human contradiction.
