Description

«Un clásico... toda la composición está exquisitamente equilibrada» George Steiner, sobre Alexis o el tratado del inútil combate

La presente edición reúne tres de las novelas más relevantes escritas por Yourcenar entre 1929 y 1939. Tres historias pertenecientes a su inconfundible universo, atravesadas por las mismas obsesiones y teñidas del mismo tono gris que apela a las pasiones y derrotas más íntimas de la naturaleza humana.

Estas páginas recogen los conflictos sociales de la contemporaneidad, el irrevocable paso del tiempo, la siempre acechante muerte, el amor tan doliente como hermoso, el erotismo, la impotencia del hombre ante un orden de cosas más esencial que él mismo: sutiles retazos del mundo al que pertenecemos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
**
** Three of the great Marguerite Yourcenar's novels in one combined volume. This edition compiles three of Yourcenar's most relevant novels written between 1929 and 1939.

Three stories belonging to her unmistakable universe, crossed by the same obsessions and tinged with the same grey tone that appeals to the most intimate passions and defeats of human nature. These pages gather together contemporary social conflict, the irrevocable passage of time, ever-looming death, love as painful as it is beautiful, eroticism, man's impotence in the face of an order of things more essential than himself: subtle snippets of the world we belong to. George Steiner said about Alexis or The Treaty of Vain Combat "A classic ... The entire composition is exquisitely balanced."**
