EL PRIMER CLASICO DEL SIGLO XXI, PREMIO PULITZERMAS DE UN MILLON DE EJEMPLARES VENDIDOS EN TODO EL MUNDOEl jilguero es una de esas rarezas que aparecen pocas veces, una novela literaria escrita con audacia, que conecta con las emociones del lector. Un triunfo.Stephen King, The New York TimesAl empezar El jilguero, entramos en una habitacion de hotel en Amsterdam. Theo Decker lleva mas de una semana encerrado entre estas cuatro paredes, fumando sin parar, bebiendo vodka y masticando miedo. Es un hombre joven, pero su historia es larga y ni el sabe bien por que ha llegado hasta aqui. Como empezo todo? Con una explosion en el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York hace unos diez anos y la imagen de un jilguero de plumas doradas, un cuadro esplendido del siglo xvii que desaparecio entre el polvo y los cascotes. Quien se lo llevo fue el mismo Theo, un chiquillo entonces, que de pronto se quedo huerfano de madre y se dedico a malgastar su vida, mientras el recuerdo de una nina pelirroja llenaba sus noches y un bulto sospechoso iba pasando de mano en mano hasta llegar a Holanda. Como acabara todo? Para saberlo hay que dejarse llevar por el talento de Donna Tartt, la autora que ha conseguido poner al dia las reglas de los grandes maestros, El jilguero es probablemente el primer clasico del siglo xxi.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA young New Yorker grieving his mother's death is pulled into a gritty underworld of art and wealth in this "extraordinary" and beloved Pulitzer Prize winner that "connects with the heart as well as the mind" (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review).Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by a longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into a wealthy and insular art community.As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love -- and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention. From the streets of New York to the dark corners of the art underworld, this "soaring masterpiece" examines the devastating impact of grief and the ruthless machinations of fate (Ron Charles, Washington Post).
