Synopsis "Suspense (in Spanish)"

«El fascinante atractivo de Suspense es que refleja de manera apasionante un mundo a la espera, un mundo a las puertas de algo, un mundo aún por venir.» (Mercedes Monmany - ABCD)Suspense es la última novela en la que trabajaba Joseph Conrad, antes de morir en 1924. En ella aborda uno de los temas que le apasionaron a lo largo de su vida, la Revolución Francesa, y lo hace a través de Cosmo Latham, un joven inglés que viaja a Génova mientras Napoleón está exiliado en la isla de Elba. Allí se verá inmerso en un ambiente perturbador de conspiradores, diplomáticos y espías que gravitan en torno a la presencia fantasmagórica del emperador recluido, y encontrará, también, el amor en la figura de Madame de Montevesso, una joven francesa aristocrática pero liberal casada con un militar sin escrúpulos. Novela coral donde Conrad muestra la maestría de su oficio, la precisión y la riqueza de su escritura ?consideraba que esta novela sería uno de sus mayores logros?, Suspense es una obra que hubiese podido ser maestra si la muerte repentina no le hubiese impedido acabarla.

Jane Austen

(Author)

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
