Synopsis "Ordeno y Mando (in Spanish)"

«Si un invitado muere repentinamente en su casa, sobre todo no avise a la policía», pontifica alguien en una cena. Baptiste Bordave sigue pocas horas más tarde el peculiar y sabio consejo cuando un misterioso personaje –Olaf Sildur, un multimillonario sueco– aparece en su casa, le pide hacer una llamada telefónica y muere de forma fulminante en su salón. A partir del momento en que Baptiste decide hacer pasar el cadáver del sueco por el suyo propio, se sumerge en una vida de ensueño, ocio y placeres en un oasis en forma de mansión de lujo y con gusto a champán francés. Un oasis habitado por una belleza nórdica a la que Baptiste, que ahora es Olaf, llama Sigrid. Este va a ser el escenario en el que se desarrollará una sorprendente historia de amor, con el trasfondo siempre sobrecogedor y fascinante de la usurpación de identidad y el misterio de la muerte del verdadero Olaf Sildur. Porque, como dice Amélie Nothomb, «en la vida real, cuando alguien muere sin que se sepa quién ha cometido el crimen, lo interesante no es la resolución del misterio, sino la constante inquietud en que se hallan sumidos los personajes».

Amélie Nothomb (Kobe, Japan, 1967), born as Fabienne Claire Nothomb, is an acclaimed Belgian writer in the French language and a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium. Although she comes from a renowned Brussels family, she spent her childhood and youth in Asia, where her father, a diplomat, served in countries such as China and Japan. This multicultural experience has left a deep imprint on her work, characterized by her witty style, psychological sharpness, and her ability to explore universal themes with a touch of irony and black humor. She currently resides in Paris, from where she continues to establish herself as one of the most original voices in contemporary literature

Since her first novel in 1992 with Hygiene of the Assassin, Nothomb has published more than thirty novels, earning a prominent place in the international literary scene. Her work, translated into numerous languages, has been awarded prizes such as the Leteo Cultural Award (2006) and the Grand Prix Jean Giono (2008), accolades that highlight the quality and originality of her narrative. With agile prose and boundless imagination, Nothomb continues to captivate readers around the world.
