«Las venganzas no son nada nuevo en la historia. Son tan viejas como el hombre mismo. De qué se trata todo esto de vivir?, se pregunta Alonso Roel, un poderoso magnate, padre de un exitoso chelista y de una genial pintora. Se reconoce como un hombre supersticioso y, sin embargo, acepta la invitación de visitar a una bruja para corroborar que la vida le seguirá sonriendo. Dicho encuentro alterará su destino. Es verdad que su esposa le es infiel? Debe temer por la salud y seguridad de sus seres queridos? El mal nunca viene solo? Él mismo descubrirá sus propios alcances y se sorprenderá al saber hasta dónde es capaz de llegar. No se detendrá a considerar que quien trama una venganza en busca de la paz perdida bien puede cavar la tumba de su enemigo y la suya propia. Mientras tanto, el amor volverá a llamar a su puerta. Es cierto que los hombres tienen la edad de la piel que acarician? Se puede ser feliz sin ser valiente? En este golpe de timón, Francisco MartÃn Moreno ofrece a sus lectores su primera novela de ficción pura. El autor deja de lado, por primera vez, la Historia y la polÃtica, y busca conquistarnos usando voces esotéricas, y no históricas, en esta entrega que arranca con una sencilla lectura de tarot y se convierte en un profundo viaje a través de las pasiones humanas y una reflexión en torno al arte y la belleza que nos rodea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Revenge is nothing new. It's as old as humanity itself.
What is life all about, anyway?, wonders Alonso Roel, a powerful business magnate, father of a successful cellist and a talented painter. Although he is a superstitious man, he accepts an invitation to visit a fortune teller to find out whether luck will continue to smile on him. The encounter will change his life forever. Is his wife cheating on him? Should he fear for the health and safety of his loved ones? Does bad luck always come in threes? Driven to discover his own limits, Alonso is surprised at how far he is willing to go, but he never stops to think that by seeking revenge, he may be digging two graves: one for his enemy, and one for himself. In the meantime, love knocks on his door again. Is it true that a man is only as old as the woman he caresses? Is happiness possible without courage? Tell Me It Isn't True is the first work of pure fiction by Francisco MartÃn Moreno, the author of numerous books on history and politics. What starts with a simple tarot reading becomes a profound journey through human passion and a reflection on the art and beauty that surround us.
