Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Massimo Cuomo's writing, not the protagonist's beauty, is what's truly wonderful about this book.' - Coooperazione'Intense, engaging, psychologically deep. Beautiful lives up to its title.' - Ex Libris'With this Márquezian novel Massimo Cuomo outdid himself.' - Corriere del VenetoA magical tale of love and rivalry between two brothers.Miguel is beautiful. His beauty is so rare and miraculous that it has made him the object of cult-like devotion in the city. Santiago, his older brother, watches with a mix of admiration and disquiet the prodigious effect that Miguel's looks have on his mother and father, on passersby, their neighbours, and the droves of female suitors that follow him everywhere. With Miguel constantly under the spotlight, Santiago is left to inhabit darker, hidden places, from where he will finally learn that life is not easy for anyone, even his prodigiously handsome brother. Set in Mexico, this story shines at every turn with the colours and mythical light of magical realism. The conflict between brothers, the role of the parents, the loves, the violence, the journeys are presented with realism and deep psychological insight yet possess an aura of legend. Disappointments, flights, regrets, reunions, goodbyes, epiphanies make up this story, as we follow the two brothers, and the people around them-all forever marked, each in their own way, by their extraordinary encounter with Beauty.'In contemporary Italian literature, never has the theme of the close-knit yet ambivalent relationship between two brothers been addressed with such clarity, depth, and ability to bring to light the conflict raging within each soul.' - Avvenire. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - La magica storia dell'amore e della rivalità tra due fratelli. Miguel è bellissimo, di una bellezza rara e miracolosa che sin dalla nascita scatena un culto appassionato in tutta la popolazione della città. Il fratello maggiore Santiago assiste ammirato e intimorito alle prodigiose reazioni che la bellezza dell'altro suscita nel padre e nella madre, nei passanti, nelle vicine di casa che affollano il cortile, nelle pretendenti smaniose che lo incalzano ovunque. Ama il fratello più piccolo ma finisce per diventarne l'ombra. Così come Miguel cattura sempre la luce dei riflettori, a Santiago tocca invece il buio degli angoli nascosti. Gli sguardi delle donne sono tutti per il fratello, la sua bellezza mantiene in secondo piano ogni aspetto dell'esistenza del primogenito. La vita tuttavia non fa sconti a nessuno e anche Miguel dovrà, attraverso un faticoso apprendistato, cercare la via per un rapporto maturo con gli altri. Il romanzo è ambientato in Messico, uno scenario che illumina la storia dei colori del realismo magico. Tutti gli eventi sembrano risplendere di una luce mitica e leggendaria. La storia si snoda fra dispiaceri, fughe, rimorsi, ritrovamenti, abbandoni e illuminazioni, mentre seguiamo le vicende dei due fratelli, dei genitori, delle donne amate, degli abitanti del posto, tutti in modo diverso travolti e segnati per sempre da questo straordinario incontro con la Bellezza.…
