LA NUEVA NOVELA DE ARTURO P?REZ-REVERTE
Una novela de mar, amor y aventuras en el Egeo durante los a?os de la Guerra Civil espa?ola
Buscaba la boca del hombre con la suya, h?meda de sal. -- Tienes fr?o? --pregunt? ?l.
--No, no... Tengo miedo.
-- A qu??
--A cuando te hayas ido y esto se borre de mi memoria. Presion? contra ?l su cuerpo goteante; y Jord?n, mojada la ropa, la acogi? entre los brazos estrech?ndola muy fuerte. --Maldito seas, capit?n Mihalis --susurr? ella de pronto.
Tard? ?l un momento en comprender.
--S? --dijo al fin. Alz? el rostro para contemplar la b?veda de estrellas, que parec?a haber descendido para instalarse en torno a los dos y su abrazo, envolvi?ndolos hasta el final de los tiempos. Como si estuvieran solos en la ?ltima noche del mundo. Abril de 1937. Mientras en Espa?a transcurre la guerra civil, el marino mercante Miguel Jord?n Kyriazis es enviado por el bando sublevado para atacar de modo clandestino el tr?fico naval que desde la Uni?n Sovi?tica transporta ayuda militar para la Rep?blica. En la base de operaciones, una peque?a isla del mar Egeo, la vida del corsario espa?ol se cruzar? en turbio tri?ngulo con la de los propietarios, el bar?n Katelios y su esposa: una seductora mujer madura que busca, con fr?a desesperaci?n, el modo de escapar a su destino. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A novel about the sea, love, and adventures in the Aegean Sea during the Spanish Civil War years. She sought the man's mouth with her own, wet with salt. "Are you cold?" he asked.
"No, no... I'm scared."
"Of what?"
"Of the moment when you're gone and this fades from my memory." She pressed her dripping body against his; and Jord?n, also with wet clothes, embraced her tightly. "Damn you, Captain Mihalis," she suddenly whispered.
It took him a moment to understand.
"Yes," he finally said. He raised his face to gaze at the dome of stars, which seemed to have descended to surround the two of them and their embrace, enveloping them until the end of time. As if they were alone on the last night of the world. April 1937. While the Spanish Civil War rages on, merchant seaman Miguel Jord?n Kyriazis is sent by the rebel faction to clandestinely attack naval traffic from the Soviet Union which transported military aid to the Republic. At the operations base, a small island in the Aegean Sea, the life of the Spanish corsair intersects in a murky triangle with that of the owners, Baron Katelios and his wife: a seductive older woman who desperately seeks a way to escape her fate.
