Synopsis "Escapada (in Spanish)"

Con la mirada profunda y sutil que tanto la caracteriza, Alice Munro nos habla sobre el amor, la traición, el pasado y la experiencia del tiempo. Escribe sobre mujeres de todas las edades y circunstancias, y sobre sus amigos, amantes, padres e hijos. Sus historias, contadas de una forma cruda, directa y honesta, parecen tan reales como la nuestra. Desde el relato homónimo, donde descubrimos la historia de una mujer incapaz de abandonar a su marido, hasta los cuentos sobre Juliet y sus complicadas relaciones, Munro va desmenuzando la verdad de cada una de sus heroínas cotidianas. El objetivo no es tanto el de contar su historia sino el de revelar el sentido de sus vidas, una sublimación liberadora o una especie de epifanía mediante la cual se dan cuenta de quiénes son y quiénes han sido. La crítica ha dicho... Millones de palabras han sido derramadas en intentos para desvelar qué significa exactamente ser humano. En Escapada Munro obra este milagro. The Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2013 The incomparable Alice Munro's bestselling and rapturously acclaimed Runaway is a book of extraordinary stories about love and its infinite betrayals and surprises, from the title story about a young woman who, though she thinks she wants to, is incapable of leaving her husband, to three stories about a woman named Juliet and the emotions that complicate the luster of her intimate relationships. In Munro's hands, the people she writes about-women of all ages and circumstances, and their friends, lovers, parents, and children-become as vivid as our own neighbors. It is her miraculous gift to make these stories as real and unforgettable as our own."
