5.0 out of 5 stars Eternas cuitas del corazón, May 8, 2003
By 
Adriana Villanueva (Caracas, Miranda Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Corazón tan blanco (Punto de Lectura) (Spanish Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
¿Un matrimonio debe tener secretos? ¿La confidencialidad de la almohada lo perdona todo? El padre de Juan, tres veces viudo, le recomienda el día de su boda guardar sus secretos más preciados, así como él los ha guardado durante tantos años a su hijo quien desconoce el triste final de las primeras dos mujeres de su padre. Corazón tan blanco, una maravillosa novela del español Javier Marías, acaba de cumplir veinte años de publicada y no ha envejecido ni un poquito, porque los secretos de familia, la eterna duda de si el amor lo sobrevive todo, incluso al matrimonio, no expiran, especialmente si están narrados de manera magistral por una de las plumas españolas más brillantes de los últimos años.
Corazón tan blanco puede tener multiples lecturas, se lee como un whodunit, se puede leer como una novela sicológica y hasta como una historia de amor, hágase la lectura que se haga, sin duda Corazón tan blanco es una novela que difícilmente decepcionará al lector.

5.0 out of 5 stars En la cama se cuenta todo..., February 25, 2008
By 
This review is from: Corazón tan blanco (Punto de Lectura) (Spanish Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
Merece haber sido un libro best seller...Ojala este autor reciba mas atencion en este lado del Atlantico.
"Si tienes secretos ...es mejor que nunca los cuentes"

"(...) 'En la cama se cuenta todo', no hay secretos entre quienes la comparten, la cama es un confesionario. Por amor o por lo que es su esencia - contar, informar, anunciar, opinar, distraer, escuchar y reír, y proyectar en vano - se traiciona a los demás, a los amigos, a los padres, a los hermanos, a los consanguíneos y los no consanguíneos, a los antiguos amores y a las convicciones, a las antiguas amantes al propio pasado y a la propia infancia, a la propia lengua que deja de hablarse y sin duda a la propia patria, a lo que en toda persona hay de secreto, o quizá es de pasado. Para halagar a quien se ama se denigra el resto de lo existente, se niega y se execra todo para contentar y reasegurar a uno solo que puede marcharse, la fuerza del territorio que delimita la almohada es tanta que excluye de su seno cuanto no está en ella, y es un territorio que por su propia naturaleza no permite que nada esté en ella excepto los cónyuges, o los amantes, que en cierto sentido se quedan solos y por eso se hablan y nada callan, involuntariamente. La almohada es redondeada y blanda y a menudo blanca, y al cabo del tiempo lo redondeado y blanco acaba sustituyendo al mundo, y a su débil rueda."
