Pronto una serie de Paramount+, protagonizada por Ewan McGregor BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES * RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNA Esta novela excepcional nos habla de nuestra inagotable capacidad para arrostrar los infortunios de la existencia. Mega éxito de ventas, con más de 2 millones de lectores. Pronto una serie de Showtime/Paramount, protagonizada por Ewan McGregor como el conde Alexander Rostov. Condenado a muerte por los bolcheviques en 1922, el conde Aleksandr Ilich Rostov elude su trágico final por un inusitado giro del destino. Gracias a un poema subversivo escrito diez años antes, el comité revolucionario conmuta la pena máxima por un arresto domiciliario inaudito: el aristócrata deberá pasar el resto de sus dÃas en el hotel Metropol, microcosmos de la sociedad rusa y conspicuo exponente del lujo y la decadencia que el nuevo régimen se ha propuesto erradicar. En esta curiosa historia se basa la segunda novela de Amor Towles, que después de recibir innumerables elogios por Normas de cortesÃa, su ópera prima, se consolida como uno de los escritores norteamericanos más interesantes del momento. Erudito, refinado y caballeroso, Rostov es un cliente asiduo del legendario Metropol, situado a poca distancia del Kremlin y el Bolshói. Sin profesión conocida pese a estar ya en la treintena, se ha dedicado con auténtica pasión a los placeres de la lectura y de la buena mesa.
Ahora, en esta nueva y forzada tesitura, irá construyendo una apariencia de normalidad a través de los lazos afectivos con algunos de los variopintos personajes del hotel, lo que le permitirá descubrir los jugosos secretos que guardan sus aposentos. AsÃ, a lo largo de más de tres décadas, el conde verá pasar la vida confinado tras los inmensos ventanales del Metropol mientras en el exterior se desarrolla uno de los perÃodos más turbulentos del paÃs. Además de mantenerse durante casi cincuenta semanas en las principales listas de éxitos de Estados Unidos y de superar el millón de ejemplares vendidos, Un caballero en Moscú ha obtenido numerosos premios, entre los que destacan el del Libro del Año según The Times y The Sunday Times. Esta novela está escrita con suma elegancia, cálido sentido del humor y un aprecio muy profundo por los grandes clásicos de la literatura rusa.

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery. Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count's endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
