Atraviesa un mal momento en el trabajo y su vida pierde sentido: ha entrado en crisis. Thibault es médico y atiende pacientes desplazándose de un lado a otro de la ciudad. Atraviesa un mal momento en su vida sentimental, se siente atrapado en su trabajo, no encuentra sentido a nada: ha entrado en crisis. Sus vidas se alejan, se acercan, se cruzan en los caminos subterráneos de la gran ciudad, de sus trabajos, de sus pensamientos. ¿Es posible que en algún momento se encuentren? ¿Es posible el amor o simplemente la vida en una ciudad competitiva y cruel pero que también sabe ser generosa y humana?
It may not be the intention, but these two strangers feel far from lost causes as they crisscross Paris over 24 hours, contemplating their limited options. Yes, in an ideal world fate would bring them together and they would save each other. That it doesn't happen is irksome, to say the least. But as this elegantly constructed, sympathetic, compelling, enjoyable novel draws to a close, you would be hard pressed to think these two are going under. Delphine de Vigan is a sensation I read this book with increasing admiration foe Delphine de Vigan's elegant writing style; her astute observations; her perceptive grasp of the complexity of human nature; the vivid backdrop of Paris in all its moods; and the compelling story of the erosion of a poised and confident woman What's most startling about this novel is how de Vigan makes the mundane come alive. She's an expert in detail, charging even the most ordinary situation with emotion, which makes for a massively affecting read Sympathetic, compelling, enjoyable Pertenece a las series editorialesSvětová knihovna (Odeon) PremiosListas de sobresalientes
"Everyday Mathilde takes the Metro, then the commuter train to the office of a large multi-national where she works in the marketing department. Every day, the same routine, the same trains. But something happened a while ago - she dared to voice a different opinion from her moody boss, Jacques. Bit by bit she finds herself frozen out of everything, with no work to do. Thibault is a paramedic. Every day he drives to the addresses he receives from his controller. The city spares him no grief: traffic jams, elusive parking spaces, delivery trucks blocking his route. He is well aware that he may be the only human being many of the people he visits will see for the entire day and is well acquainted with the symptomatic illnesses, the major disasters, the hustle and bustle and, of course, the immense, pervading loneliness of the city. Before one day in May, Mathilde and Thibault had never met. They were just two anonymous figures in a crowd, pushed and shoved and pressured continuously by the loveless, urban world. Underground Time is a novel of quiet violence - the violence of office-bullying, the violence of the brutality of the city - in which our two characters move towards an inevitable meeting"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
