Dos viajes a La Habana, dos romances y una estrella del ajedrez Un g???lido jueves de enero de 2008, en un hospital de Reikiavik, el doctor Stoltz colocaba un alfil en la mano vencida de Bobby Fischer, quien fuera el mejor ajedrecista del mundo, para que, al apretar en ella la pieza, las venas de su brazo se hincharan y as??? poder inyectarle una dosis compasiva de morfina. Aunque, en realidad, esta narraci???n arranca m???s de cuarenta a???os atr???s, con un Bobby Fischer admirado por todo el mundo que visita Cuba en 1966 para disputar un torneo, y entrelaza dos historias de amor, dos pasiones vividas con una revoluci???n como tel???n de fondo. La de Miriam, que a sus catorce a???os tiene un breve e intenso romance con el ajedrecista, y la de un misterioso cubano de origen polaco que cae rendido a los pies de la madre del gran maestro diez a???os antes. Dos pasiones amorosas en dos momentos hist???ricos de Cuba , aquella que floreci??? al calor de los casinos y la industria del turismo que comandaban los g???nsteres desde Florida, y la que qued??? despu???s de que la Revoluci???n arrasara el espejismo capitalista. Mayra Montero recrea con maestr???a dos ???pocas de una ciudad, La Habana, que ya ha desaparecido. Sobre La mitad de la noche: ???Mayra Montero maneja con habilidad su doble hilo argumental... el libro crece enormemente y la recreaci???n de un tiempo y un lugar es estupenda... Una narradora de enorme pulcritud que sabe atrapar la atenci???n del lector y conservarla. Sus libros funcionan con enorme fluidez y astucia.??? Pablo Mart???nez Zarracina, El Correo ???Un comienzo brutal, una prosa destilada que nos adentra en la psicolog???a de unos personajes atormentados por el secreto en la intrahistoria de una acaudalada familia donostiarra... Mayra Montero recrea con gran eficacia la atm???sfera opresiva de la Iparralde ocupada, a la vez que decribe con maestr???a la inmersi???n de la protagonista en las cartas.??? ??????igo Urrutia, El Diario Vasco ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Two Trips to Havana, Two Romances, and a Chess Star On a chilly Thursday in January 2008, in a hospital in Reykjavik, Dr. Stoltz placed a bishop in the weakened hand of Bobby Fischer, who was once the best chess player in the world, so that by squeezing the piece, the veins in his arm would swell, allowing for a compassionate dose of morphine. However, this story actually begins more than forty years earlier, with a globally admired Bobby Fischer visiting Cuba in 1966 to compete in a tournament, intertwining two love stories, two passions lived against the backdrop of a revolution. One is Miriam's, who at fourteen has a brief and intense romance with the chess player, and the other is of a mysterious Cuban of Polish origin who falls at the feet of the grandmaster's mother ten years earlier. Two romantic passions in two historical moments of Cuba , one that flourished with the heat of casinos and the tourism industry run by gangsters from Florida, and the one that remained after the Revolution swept away the capitalist mirage. Mayra Montero masterfully recreates two eras of a city, Havana, that has already disappeared. About La mitad de la noche : "Mayra Montero skillfully handles her dual narrative thread... the book grows enormously, and the recreation of a time and place is wonderful... A narrator of great precision who knows how to capture the reader's attention and keep it. Her books work with great fluidity and cunning." Pablo Mart???nez Zarracina, El Correo "A brutal beginnin
