Description

A un discĂ­pulo de Mesmer le encargan que cure el hipo que sufre un sudamericano pobre abandonado en un hospital de ParĂ­s en la primavera de 1938. En apariencia, nada puede pasar. Sin embargo el mesmerista Pierre Pain se verĂĄ envuelto en una intriga en donde se planea un asesinato ritual de proporciones planetarias. ÂżQuiĂ©n es el sudamericano que agoniza en el hospital Arago? ÂżPor quĂ© unas fuerzas ocultas desean su muerte? ÂżQuĂ© se pierde y quĂ© se gana con esa muerte? SĂłlo Pierre Pain se da cuenta de lo que se teje entre bastidores. Y Ă©l no es un hĂ©roe sino un hombre comĂșn y corriente: solitario, secretamente enamorado de madame Reynaud, delicado, pacĂ­fico, descreĂ­do, el menos indicado para intentar resolver una historia extraordinaria a mitad de camino entre la casualidad y la causalidad, una aventura a vida o muerte en donde se pondrĂĄ en juego el amor, la soledad, la dignidad y el valor del ser humano, el delirio, la irremediable tristeza.Una insĂłlita novela en la que el autor de Los detectives salvajes, premiado con el RĂłmulo Gallegos, exhibe su no menos insĂłlita altura literaria.
