Al mejor estilo de Joseph Conrad, Stefan Zweig o Ambrose Bierce, Francisco Pérez de Antón nos presenta ochorelatos turbadores cuyos protagonistas tratan de cambiar el destino fatal que parece marcar sus vidas.
Estos son los
sugerentes títulos
: «Un agujero en el queso», «O César o nada», «El apagón», «¿Dónde están los payasos?», «Atracción fatal», «Apóstata, zascandil, delator, espía», «La ninfa de la fuente de Gobia» y «El arte de burlar a la muerte», que da título al libro y narra lo ocurrido la noche en que Sherezade se salvó de ser degollada gracias a las
historias
que el autor pone en boca de ella.
Inmersos en diferentes tiempos
históricos
, sus originales tramas e inesperados desenlaces conforman un colorido mosaico literario donde los múltiples
estilos narrativos
potencian el propósito de emocionar,
sorprender
y entretener al lector.
Vamos en busca de
buenas historias
, bien contadas, como las que Pérez de Antón nos presenta en este volumen, fuera de colección, con las que podremos comprobar la capacidad curativa de la lectura y, tal vez,
burlar a la muerte
.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In the best Joseph Conrad, Stefan Zweig, or Ambrose Bierce style, Francisco Pérez de Antón presents eight disturbing short stories in which the protagonists try to change the doomed fate that seems to chart the course of their lives.
These are their
enticing titles:
“A Hole in the Cheese,” “Cesar or Nothing,” “The Blackout,” “Where Are the Clowns?” “Fatal Attraction,” “Apostate, Loafer, Whistleblower, Spy,” “The Nymph in the Fountain of Gobia,” and “The Art of Cheating Death,” which gives the book its title and narrates what happened the night Scheherazade saved herself from being beheaded because of the
stories
the author put in her mouth.
Immersed in different
historical
times, these original plots with unexpected outcomes make a colorful literary mosaic where multiple
narrative styles
enhance the purpose of thrilling,
surprising
, and entertaining the reader.
We are looking for
good stories,
well told, just like the ones Pérez de Antón presents in this volume, not included in any collection, with which we might demonstrate the healing capacity of reading, and maybe even
cheat death.
