Synopsis "Una escalera hacia el cielo (in Spanish)"

Maurice Swift quiere ser escritor… pese a ser incapaz de crear historias. Un encuentro casual con el conocido novelista Erich Ackermann en un hotel de Berlín a finales de los años ochenta supone su primera gran oportunidad. Enseguida se hace amigo de aquel hombre mayor tan famoso como solitario, y le sonsaca un terrible secreto largamente guardado sobre sus actividades durante la guerra: el material perfecto para su primera novela. Una vez alcanzado el éxito, Swift descubre que ya no podrá detenerse ante nada con tal de mantenerse en la cumbre. Moviéndose desde la costa de Amalfi hasta Manhattan y Londres, Maurice perfecciona su talento para el engaño y la manipulación aprovechándose de los brillantes y vulnerables en su sangrienta defensa de su lugar en la cima.

John Boyne (Dublin, Ireland, 1971) is a distinguished Irish author, globally recognized for his moving novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, an editorial phenomenon translated into almost 40 languages and adapted into film, with more than 5 million copies sold. Educated at Trinity College and the University of East Anglia, Boyne debuted with "The Thief of Time", establishing himself in the literary scene with works like The Congress of Rough Riders and Crippen. His narrative, which alternates between adult and young adult audiences, explores historical and human themes with sensitivity, as demonstrated by Stay Where You Are & Then Leave and The Absolutist. Awarded with prizes such as the IMPAC, the Irish Novel of the Year, and the Gustav Heinemann Peace Prize, Boyne remains an essential voice in contemporary literature, combining commercial success with thematic depth.
