Overview

Boyne mantiene vivo el interés hasta las últimas páginas, en las que un inesperado desenlace dejará, una vez más, una profunda huella en los lectores.

Mientras acompaña a su esposa Zoya, que agoniza en un hospital de Londres, Georgi Danilovich Yáchmenev rememora la vida que han compartido durante sesenta y cinco años, una vida marcada por un gran secreto que nunca ha salido a la luz. Los recuerdos se agolpan en una sucesión de imágenes imborrables, a partir de aquel lejano día en que Georgi abandonó su mísero pueblo natal para formar parte de la guardia personal de Alexis Romanov, el único hijo varón del zar Nicolás II. Así, la fastuosa vida en el Palacio de Invierno, las intimidades de la familia imperial, los hechos que precedieron a la revolución bolchevique y, finalmente, la reclusión y posterior ejecución de los Romanov se entremezclan con el durísimo exilio en París y Londres en una hermosa historia de un amor improbable, al mismo tiempo un apasionante relato histórico y una conmovedora tragedia íntima.

Tras asombrar al público y la crítica con El niño con el pijama de rayas #libro de ficción más vendido en España en 2007 y 2008# y seducir a miles de lectores con su siguiente obra, Motín en la Bounty, John Boyne vuelve a demostrar un especial don narrativo para tratar grandes acontecimientos históricos desde perspectivas desconocidas, proyectando sobre lo ya sabido una luz nueva y sorprendente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the author of The Absolutist, a propulsive novel of the Russian Revolution and the fate of the Romanovs
.
 
Part love story, part historical epic, part tragedy, The House of Special Purpose illuminates an empire at the end of its reign. Eighty-year-old Georgy Jachmenev is haunted by his past—a past of death, suffering, and scandal that will stay with him until the end of his days. Living in England with his beloved wife, Zoya, Georgy prepares to make one final journey back to the Russia he once knew and loved, the Russia that both destroyed and defined him. As Georgy remembers days gone by, we are transported to St. Petersburg, to the Winter Palace of the czar, in the early twentieth century—a time of change, threat, and bloody revolution. As Georgy overturns the most painful stone of all, we uncover the story of the house of special purpose.
