Overview
Premiado en Suecia como Mejor Libro del Año y considerado mejor debut por la Academia Sueca de Novela Negra en 2017, 1793 es un apasionante thriller histórico que se ha convertido en un fenómeno de ventas en toda Europa.
Un año después de la muerte del rey Gustavo III, los vientos de la Revolución francesa llegan incluso a Suecia, donde la tensión es palpable en todo el país, convertido en un nido de conspiraciones, suspicacias y recelos. En esta atmósfera irrespirable, Mickel Cardell, un veterano de la guerra contra Rusia, descubre un cuerpo atrozmente mutilado en un lago de Estocolmo. Un abogado tuberculoso, el sagaz e incorruptible Cecil Winge, se hace cargo de las pesquisas, pero el tiempo apremia: su salud es precaria, la monarquía hace aguas y las revueltas están a la orden del día. Winge y Cardell se verán inmersos en un mundo de truhanes y ladrones, ricos y pobres, piadosos y pecadores, mercenarios y meretrices. Juntos se enfrentarán al mal y a la corrupción que anidan en la sociedad sueca para esclarecer la misteriosa verdad escondida tras ese terrible crimen.
Intenso, descarnado y febril, 1793 insufla vida a las calles abarrotadas, los suntuosos palacios y los rincones más sombríos de la capital sueca a finales del siglo XVIII, y nos ofrece una sorprendente visión de los delitos que cometemos en nombre de la justicia y los sacrificios que hacemos para sobrevivir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The selling phenomenon that has revolutionized the historical thriller.
Awarded Best Book of the Year in Sweden and considered the best debut novel of 2017 by the Swedish Academy of the Black Novel, 1793 is a passionate historical thriller that has become a selling phenomenon all over Europe.
One year after the death of King Gustavo III, the winds of the French Revolution have come even to Sweden, where tension is palpable all over the country, becoming a nest of conspiracies, mistrust, and suspicion. In this suffocating atmosphere, Mickel Cardell, a veteran of the war with Russia, discovers an atrociously mutilated corpse in a lake in Stockholm. A lawyer with tuberculosis, the clever and incorruptible Cecil Winge, takes charge of investigation, but time is of the essence: his health is precarious, the monarchy is dissolving and revolts are the order of the day. Winge and Cardell will see themselves immersed in a world of scoundrels and thieves, rich and poor, pious and sinful, mercenaries and harlots. Together they will confront the evil and corruption that dwells in the Swedish society to untangle the mysterious truth behind this terrible crime.
Intense, raw, and frenzied, 1793 breathes life into the crowded streets, sumptuous palaces, and darkest corners of the Swedish capital at the end of the 18th century, and offers us a surprising view of the crimes we commit in the name of justice and the sacrifices we make to survive.
