Overview
Un audaz cambio de registro en el que Julia Navarro disecciona la ambición, la codicia y el egoísmo del ser humano.
Soy un canalla y no me arrepiento de serlo.
He mentido, engañado y manipulado a mi antojo sin que me importaran las consecuencias.
He destruido sueños y reputaciones, he traicionado a los que me han sido leales, he provocado dolor a aquellos que quisieron ayudarme.
He jugado con las esperanzas de quienes pensaron que podrían cambiar lo que soy.
Sé lo que hice y siempre supe lo que debí hacer.
Esta es la historia de un canalla. La mía.
Thomas Spencer sabe cómo conseguir todo lo que desea. Una salud delicada es el precio que ha tenido que pagar por su estilo de vida, pero no se lamenta por ello. Sin embargo, desde su último episodio cardíaco, una sensación extraña se ha apoderado de él y en la soledad de su lujoso apartamento de Brooklyn, se suceden las noches en que no puede evitar preguntarse cómo habría sido la vida que conscientemente eligió no vivir.
El recuerdo de los momentos que le llevaron a triunfar como publicista y asesor de imagen, entre Londres y Nueva York en los ochenta y noventa, nos descubre los turbios mecanismos que en ocasiones emplean los centros de poder para conseguir sus fines. Un mundo hostil, gobernado por hombres, en el que las mujeres se resisten a tener un papel secundario.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A bold text in which Julia Navarro dissects ambition, greed, and selfishness within humans.
“I am a scoundrel and I do not regret it one bit.
I have lied, cheated, and manipulated at my whim without any regard for consequences.
I know what I did, and always knew what I should have done.
This is the story of a sociopath. . . mine.”
Thomas Spencer knows how to get everything he wants. A delicate health is the price he has had to pay for his lifestyle, but doesn’t regret it at all. However, since his last cardiac episode a strange sensation has overcome him, and in the solitude of his luxurious Brooklyn apartment, he can’t help but wonder what that life, one that he consciously chose not to live, would have been like.
His memories of the times when he succeeded as a publicist and an image consultant, in London and New York in the eighties and nineties, reveal the shady mechanisms sometimes used by those in power to achieve their goals. Shameless and electrifying, Story of a Sociopath illuminates the true nature of power through the mind of a master psychological manipulator.
