Overview
«La venganza no se produce de la manera esperada por nadie. La preocupación, finalmente, es encontrar el pase mágico que permita la comprensión de la existencia». –Mariana Enriquez
«Un hijo no debe vivir bajo el mismo cielo que el asesino de su padre». Con esta frase de Confucio inicia Un crimen japonés, exquisita novela ambientada en el Japón medieval. Yutaka Tanaka, señor feudal de la provincia de Sagami, debe vengar la muerte de su padre, asesinado por una banda de samuráis enmascarados. La investigación del crimen lo lleva a los campos de batalla, a las intrigas cortesanas y sus traiciones. Como un príncipe que no llega a comprender, Yutaka enfrentará la fascinación de los autómatas, las maniobras sentimentales de dama Ashikaga y los secretos del sokushinbutsu.
Tan oriental como argentina, la última novela de Daniel Guebel es un relato policial, una especulación sobre los reinos de ultratumba, una fantástica y melancólica historia de amor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
«Revenge does not occur in the manner anyone expected. In the end, the concern is to find that magical pass that enables the understanding of existence.» —Mariana Enríquez
«A son must not live under the same sky as his father’s killer.» With this quote by Confucius, A Japanese Crime opens, an exquisite novel set in medieval Japan. Yutaka Tanaka, feudal lord of the Sagami province, must avenge the death of his father, murdered by a group of masked samurai. The crime investigation takes him to battlefields, court intrigues, and betrayals. As a prince who fails to understand, Yutaka will face the allure of automatons, the sentimental maneuvers of lady Ashikaga, and the sokushinbutsu secrets.
As much Asian as it is Argentinian, Daniel Guebel’s latest novel is a detective story, a speculation about the kingdoms beyond the grave, and a superb and melancholic love story.
