Synopsis "Número DOS / Number Two (in Spanish)"

LA INCREÍBLE HISTORIA DEL HARRY POTTER FALLIDO VUELVE EL MEJOR FOENKINOS (MÁS DE TRES MILLONES DE LECTORES Y QUINCE PREMIOS LITERARIOS) CON UNA GENUINA NOVELA SOBRE EL ÉXITO Y EL FRACASO, EN LAS LISTAS DE MÁS VENDIDOS «Gracias por este libro, hechicero Foenkinos . -M. P., L'Express «Una novela divertida y melancólica, cruel y dramática . -Laurence Caracalla, Le Figaro Littéraire En 1999 centenares de jóvenes pasaron por las audiciones para interpretar a Harry Potter. Entre los dos candidatos que llegaron hasta el final, Daniel Radcliffe fue elegido por tener, según la directora del casting, «ese algo extra . Al leer estas declaraciones, David Foenkinos empatizó de inmediato con el chico que no tenía ese toque extra: el número dos. Esta novela narra su historia. La vida de Martin Hill, un chico con padres divorciados y gafas negras y redondas, da un vuelco cuando acude por azar a la productora londinense en la que trabaja su padre el mismo día en que pasa por ahí David Heyman, inmerso en la búsqueda del actor que encarnará al pequeño mago. Tras ser descartado, Martin irá cayendo en sucesivas depresiones con cada nueva entrega de los libros y las películas. A su alrededor, todo le recuerda el éxito de su rival y poco a poco, en lugar de disfrutar de la vida de Radcliffe, la suya propia empieza a parecerse a la del atormentado personaje de ficción. Podrá sobreponerse a esa mancha en su destino y hacer del fracaso una fuerza?

David Foenkinos was born in Paris in 1974. A graduate in Literature from the Sorbonne University, he also received solid training as a jazz musician. Among his novels, enthusiastically received by readers and critics worldwide and translated into many languages, stand out The Erotic Potential of My Wife (Roger-Nimier Award 2004), In Case of Happiness (2005), The Memories (2011), I Am Feeling Much Better (2013) and, above all, Delicacy (2009), which won ten awards and was a finalist in the most prestigious literary awards in France, such as the Goncourt, the Renaudot, the Médicis, the Femina, and the Interallié, and which was later made into a film by the author himself and his brother Stéphane. In 2010, Foenkinos, a melomaniac and devoted fan of John Lennon, decided to launch a unique fictional biography, Lennon, with which Alfaguara began publishing his work in 2014. In 2015, he was awarded the Renaudot and Goncourt des lycéens prizes for Charlotte (Alfaguara, 2018), a unique book that rescued the painter Charlotte Salomon from oblivion. Following the success of The Library of Rejected Books (Alfaguara, 2017), adapted into a film, Alfaguara has also published Towards Beauty (2019), Two Sisters (2020), The Martin Family (2021) and, now, Number Two, winner of the Prix Nice Baie des Anges.
