Overview

Una de las 100 mejores novelas en inglés del siglo XX, de acuerdo a Modern Library.
 
Un brillante retrato de una Norteamérica a punto de naufragar en la Gran Depresión y un hito de la narrativa contemporánea.
 
«Si quieres leer un libro de un hombre que sabe exactamente de lo que está escribiendo y lo hace maravillosamente bien, lee Cita en Samarra.»  —Ernest Hemingway
 
En diciembre de 1930, poco antes de Navidad, la aristocracia de Gibbsville resplandece en bailes y fiestas donde la música suena hasta altas horas de la madrugada y el alcohol fluye generosamente. En el centro de la élite están Julian y Caroline, una espectacular pareja objeto de la envidia de todos. Sin embargo, en el transcurso de una de esas veladas Julian osa romper las reglas de la encopetada sociedad y empieza un rápido y vertiginoso descenso hacia la destrucción y el ostracismo.

Junto a Hemingway y Scott Fitzgerald, John O’Hara es uno de los grandes novelistas de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX y quizá el más mordaz, lúcido, impertinente y descarado narrador urbano.

Cita en Samarra, elegida una de las cien mejores novelas en inglés del siglo XX por la Modern Library y una de las cien mejores de todos los tiempos según Time, está considerada unánimemente su obra maestra. Un brillante retrato de una Norteamérica a punto de naufragar en la Gran Depresión y un hito de la narrativa contemporánea.           
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of Time’s All-Time 100 Best Novels

The writer whom Fran Lebowitz called “the real F. Scott Fitzgerald” makes his Penguin Classics debut with this beautiful deluxe edition of his best-loved book.
 
One of the great novels of small-town American life, Appointment in Samarra is John O’Hara’s crowning achievement. In December 1930, just before Christmas, the Gibbsville, Pennsylvania, social circuit is electrified with parties and dances. At the center of the social elite stand Julian and Caroline English. But in one rash moment born inside a highball glass, Julian breaks with polite society and begins a rapid descent toward self-destruction.
 
Brimming with wealth and privilege, jealousy and infidelity, O’Hara’s iconic first novel is an unflinching look at the dark side of the American dream—and a lasting testament to the keen social intelligence if a major American writer.
