EL PRIMER CL???SICO DEL SIGLO XXI, PREMIO PULITZER M???S DE UN MILL???N DE EJEMPLARES VENDIDOS EN TODO EL MUNDO ??? El 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 Times Al empezar El jilguero , entramos en una habitaci???n de hotel en Amsterdam. Theo Decker lleva m???s 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 ???l sabe bien por qu??? ha llegado hasta aqu???. ???C???mo empez??? todo? Con una explosi???n en el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York hace unos diez a???os y la imagen de un jilguero de plumas doradas, un cuadro espl???ndido del siglo xvii que desapareci??? entre el polvo y los cascotes. Quien se lo llev??? fue el mismo Theo, un chiquillo entonces, que de pronto se qued??? hu???rfano de madre y se dedic??? a malgastar su vida, mientras el recuerdo de una ni???a pelirroja llenaba sus noches y un bulto sospechoso iba pasando de mano en mano hasta llegar a Holanda. ???C???mo acabar??? todo? Para saberlo hay que dejarse llevar por el talento de Donna Tartt, la autora que ha conseguido poner al d???a las reglas de los grandes maestros, El jilguero es probablemente el primer cl???sico del siglo xxi. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A 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).
