En plena crisis de pareja, un retratista de cierto prestigio abandona Tokio en dirección al norte de Japón. Confuso, sumido en sus recuerdos, deambula por el paÃs hasta que, finalmente, un amigo le ofrece instalarse en una pequeña casa aislada, rodeada de bosques, que pertenece a su padre, un pintor famoso.
En suma, un lugar donde retirarse durante un tiempo. En esa casa de paredes vacÃas, tras oÃr extraños ruidos, el protagonista descubre en un desván lo que parece un cuadro, envuelto y con una etiqueta en la que se lee: La muerte del comendador . Cuando se decida a desenvolverlo se abrirá ante él un extraño mundo donde la ópera Don Giovanni de Mozart, el encargo de un retrato, una tÃmida adolescente y, por supuesto, un comendador, sembrarán de incógnitas su vida, hasta hace poco anodina y rutinaria.
Este primer volumen de la novela La muerte del comendador es un fascinante laberinto donde lo cotidiano se ve invadido de señales indescifrables, de preguntas cuya respuesta todavÃa está lejos de vislumbrarse. El lector, al igual que el protagonista, deberá permanecer muy atento.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Only in solitude, when the future is uncertain, does the true journey begin.
In the midst of a relationship crisis, a portrait painter of some prestige leaves Tokyo for the north of Japan. Confused, and immersed in his memories, he wanders around the country until, finally, a friend lets him use a small isolated house, surrounded by forests, that belongs to his father, a famous painter.
In short, a place to retire for a while. In a house with empty walls, after hearing strange noises, the protagonist discovers what looks like a painting, wrapped and with a label that reads: Killing Commendatore. When he decides to unwrap it, a strange world opens before him, where Mozart's Don Giovanni, the commission of a portrait, a shy teenager and, of course, a commander, will fill his life with questions, where there only used to be dullness and boredom.
Killing Commendatore: Book 1 is a fascinating labyrinth where everyday life is plagued by indecipherable signs, by questions whose answers are still far from being glimpsed. The reader, like the protagonist, must remain very attentive.
