Via Revolucionaria/ Revolutionary Road (Spanish Edition) [Paperback]

Richard Yates (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 27, 2009

In the hopeful 1950s, Frank and April Wheeler appear to be a model couple: bright, beautiful, talented, with two young children and a starter home in the suburbs. Perhaps they married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank's job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to crumble. With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves. Description in Spanish: Los anos cincuenta retratados por Richard Yates tienen demasiados parentescos con los tiempos que vivimos. El aislamiento que nace de la comodidad. La perdida, muchas veces inconsciente, de valores que en algun momento parecian fundamentales. Brillantes, bellos y confundidos, Frank y April Wheeler tratan de sostener sus ideas incluso contra si mismos y sus debilidades.

Editorial Reviews

Review

''Si Via Revolucionaria no convierte a Yates en un escritor inmortal, la inmortalidad es algo que no vale la pena.'' --Time

''Si se necesita algo mas para realizar una obra maestra, no se de que se trata.'' --Tennesse Williams

''Una Madame Bovary habitando los pesadillescos suburbios del American Dream. Pocos libros tan tristes hicieron tan felices a sus lectores: obra maestra.'' --El Pais
