Overview

¿Puede ser una coincidencia que una muchacha muera a latigazos donde acaba de caer una bomba?¿Puede jugarse una partida de ajedrez usando como escenario una ciudad sitiada? El asedio es la novela más enigmática de Arturo Pérez-Reverte

Cádiz, 1811. España lucha por su independencia mientras América lo hace por la suya. En las calles de la ciudad más liberal de Europa se libran batallas de otra índole. Mujeres jóvenes aparecen desolladas a latigazos. En cada lugar, antes del hallazgo del cadáver, ha caído una bomba francesa. Eso traza sobre la ciudad un mapa superpuesto y siniestro: un complejo tablero de ajedrez donde la mano de un jugador oculto #un asesino despiadado, el azar, las curvas de artillería, la dirección de los vientos, el cálculo de probabilidades# mueve piezas que deciden el destino de los protagonistas: un policía corrupto y brutal, la heredera de una importante casa comercial gaditana, un capitán corsario de pocos escrúpulos, un taxidermista misántropo y espía, un enternecedor guerrillero de las salinas y un excéntrico artillero a quien las guerras importan menos que resolver el problema técnico del corto alcance de sus obuses.

El asedio narra el pulso asombroso de un mundo que pudo ser y no fue. El fin de una época y unos personajes condenados por la Historia, sentenciados a un vida que, como la ciudad que los alberga #una Cádiz equívoca, enigmática, sólo en apariencia luminosa y blanca#, nunca volverá a ser la misma. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Cadiz, year 1811. While Spain and America are both fighting for their independence, a different type of battle is being waged in Europe's most liberal city. Young women are found dead, their throats severed by the cutting slash of a whip. And in each place, just before another dead body is found, a French bomb has exploded. These events create a sinister sketch over the city: a complex chess board where the hand of a mysterious player — a ruthless murderer, chance, the direction of the winds, the estimation of probabilities — moves the pieces that determine the fate of the characters: a savage and corrupt police officer, the heiress to a local commercial empire, an unscrupulous privateer, a misanthropic taxidermist and spy, a guerilla fighter from the coast capable of inspiring the most tender feelings, and an eccentric artilleryman more concerned with finding a solution to the short range of his mortar and shells than with war. El asedio reconstructs the extraordinary pulsating beat of a real or imaginary world. It is the end of an era and also the story of individuals condemned by History, sentenced to live a life that, just as the city they call home — an enigmatic, ambiguous and misleading Cadiz, a city whose brightness and luminosity is only skin deep — will never be the same.
