El Invierno En Tu Rostro / Winter in Your Face
Autor Carla Monteroes Limba Spaniolă Paperback
En un pueblo de la montana, donde los dias suceden unos iguales a otros, Lena y Guillen, hermanastros, viven una vida pobre pero tranquila. El destino de Guillen es ser pastor y el de Lena, como el de todas las mujeres de su epoca, formar una familia. Pero algo inesperado sucede: un accidente de avion en la montana alterara sus vidas para siempre. Dos aviadores franceses han perdido la vida y Guillen es el unico que consigue encontrar el lugar donde descansan sus restos. La viuda del piloto, la condesa Ursula Zalesca, aparece a las pocas semanas con una propuesta inaudita: llevarse a Guillen a Francia y educarlo como un hijo. Alguien tiene que llevar la fabrica de aviones de su difunto marido y cree que el joven pastor es el indicado. Asi que Guillen viaja a Lyon, estudia, aprende, se empapa de unas riquezas con las que no habia podido sonar, y se convierte en ingeniero. Pero no olvida a Lena, y mantienen una relacion epistolar durante esos anos. A lo largo de sus vidas, Lena y Guillen, Guillen y Lena, cruzaran sus caminos: en la guerra civil espanola, en la Europa de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en el inhospito Frente ruso, en la Varsovia asolada por los nazis, en el calido y exuberante Tanger de los anos cuarenta.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Adventure, love, and war in the chess board of the bloody 20th century: the most personal novel by the author of La Tabla Esmeralda.
In a mountain village, where each day is the same as the last, step-siblings Lena and Guillen, live a poor but tranquil life. Guillen's destiny is to be a shepherd, and Lena's, like all women of her time, is to form a family. But something unexpected happens: a plane accident in the mountain alters their lives forever.
Two French aviators have lost their lives, and Guillen is the only one who manages to find where their remains have come to rest. The pilot's widow, Countess Ursula Zalesca, appears just a few weeks later with an unheard-of proposal: take Guillen to France and bring him up as a son.
Someone must keep up with her deceased husband's plane factory, and she believes that the young shepherd is just the person. So Guillen travels to Lyon, where he studies, learns, soaks up more riches than he could ever have dreamed about, and becomes an engineer. But he doesn't forget about Lena, and they continue an epistolary relationship throughout all those years.
Throughout their lives, Lena and Guillen, Guillen and Lena, continue to cross paths: in the Spanish civil war, in the Europe of the Second World War, in the inhospitable Eastern Front, in the Warsaw devastated by the Nazis, in the lush Tangier of the 1940s.
