Overview

La poderosa primera novela de Virginia Tangvald: una epopeya inaudita e inspiradora que ha sacudido a los libreros, los lectores y la crítica, en las listas de más vendidos.

Ganadora del premio Prix révélation d'automne SGDL

Virginia no conoció a su padre, Peter Tangvald, más que por los libros que él publicó y los reportajes que protagonizó. El legendario aventurero noruego pasó su vida surcando océanos a bordo del velero que construyó, desafiando los elementos y las convenciones. Casado siete veces, perdió a dos de sus esposas en misteriosas circunstancias, antes de naufragar con su hija Carmen, de ocho años, en las Antillas en 1991. Único superviviente de la tragedia, su hijo Thomas adoptó el mismo estilo de vida errante hasta desaparecer a su vez en el mar sin dejar rastro. La autora también nació a bordo de aquel barco, sin recuerdos de ese padre, carismático y peligroso, del que su madre Florence, la séptima esposa, huyó cuando Virginia era apenas un bebé. Obsesionada por descubrir quién era en verdad, inicia una investigación para tratar de reunir todas las piezas de una historia de libertad sin límites. Sin embargo, a medida que se acumulan las revelaciones y las muertes, descubre que su padre no es ese héroe al que había idealizado.

En la línea de sus predecesoras Delphine de Vigan o Vanessa Springora, "el primer libro de Virginia Tangvald es de los que te salpican la cara, te zarandean, te revuelven y te dejan boquiabierto -ha escrito Le Monde-. Está en la confluencia de tres géneros -el relato de naufragio, el cuento y la investigación familiar- que juntos le confieren una sorprendente fuerza. Los barcos sumergidos y sus escasos supervivientes han sido durante mucho tiempo una poderosa fuente narrativa para Boccaccio, Herman Melville, Daniel Defoe, Julio Verne y Alessandro Baricco".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The powerful first novel by Virginia Tangvald: an audacious and inspiring epic that rocked booksellers, readers and critics.

The bestselling winner of the Prix révélation d'automne SGDL

Virginia knows her father, Peter Tangvald, only through books and interviews. The legendary Norwegian adventurer spent his life sailing the world’s oceans on a sailboat he built himself, defying the elements and convention. Married seven times, two of his wives died in mysterious circumstances, and he himself drowned in a shipwreck in the Antilles in 1991 with his eight-year-old daughter, Carmen. The only survivor of the tragedy was his son, Thomas, who followed the same nomadic lifestyle before he too disappeared at sea without a trace. Born on the same ill-fated sailboat, the author has no memories of her dangerous and charismatic father: Her mother, Florence, the seventh wife, fled the marriage when Virginia was just a baby. Obsessed with learning who he really was, Virginia sets out on a mission to put together the pieces of his freewheeling life. As the revelations and death toll mount, however, she discovers that her father had little in common with the hero she idealized.

In the tradition of Delphine de Vigan and Vanessa Springora, “Virginia Tangvald’s first book slaps you in the face, spins you around, shakes you to the core and leaves you agape,” Le Monde writes. “It is the confluence of three genres – shipwreck tale, short story and family research project – that merge with surprising force. Sunken ships and their survivors have a long history of providing material for authors such as Boccaccio, Herman Melville, Daniel Defoe, Julio Verne and Alessandro Baricco.”
