Overview

Un thriller psicológico de altos vuelos. Una sátira de la ambición y el mundo literario

¿Hasta dónde está dispuesto a llegar un novelista para hallar la inspiración que no tiene? ¿Saborear las mieles del triunfo merece sacrificar el alma? A través de un personaje tan seductor como absolutamente desalmado, John Boyne aborda estas preguntas en Una escalera hacia el cielo, una novela formidable que es también una magnífica inmersión en el círculo de los escritores, con sus dudas, sus sueños, sus alegrías y sus miserias.

Maurice Swift quiere ser escritor, pero es incapaz de crear historias. No tiene imaginación, aunque sí un rasgo que ha aprovechado desde su adolescencia, cuando descubrió que era irresistiblemente atractivo para hombres y mujeres. ¿Por qué no utilizar esa ventaja para conseguir su objetivo? Un encuentro casual con el conocido novelista Erich Ackermann en un hotel de Berlín a finales de los años ochenta, supone su primera gran oportunidad, y enseguida inicia una relación con aquel hombre mayor tan famoso como solitario, sonsacándole un terrible secreto muy bien guardado de su pasado durante la guerra: material perfecto para su primera novela. Alcanzado el éxito, Swift descubre que ya no podrá detenerse ante nada con tal de mantenerse en la cumbre: necesita más historias, y para ello deberá descubrir otras presas, destruir y devorar otras vidas.

Ambientada en el mundo editorial, esta novela ofrece una mirada atractiva y mordaz a lo que a menudo implica la llamada escalera hacia el cielo de la gloria literaria, con sus premios, promociones y envidias sin fin. Con un excelente juego de perspectivas, abundantes dosis de humor negro y el constante cuestionamiento moral del protagonista, John Boyne nos regala una experiencia de lectura absolutamente cautivadora.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“A satire of writerly ambition wrapped in a psychological thriller . . . An homage to Patricia Highsmith, Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe, but its execution is entirely Boyne’s own.”—Ron Charles, The Washington Post

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE


Maurice Swift is handsome, charming, and hungry for fame. The one thing he doesn’t have is talent—but he’s not about to let a detail like that stand in his way. After all, a would-be writer can find stories anywhere. They don’t need to be his own.

Working as a waiter in a West Berlin hotel in 1988, Maurice engineers the perfect opportunity: a chance encounter with celebrated novelist Erich Ackermann. He quickly ingratiates himself with the powerful – but desperately lonely – older man, teasing out of Erich a terrible, long-held secret about his activities during the war. Perfect material for Maurice’s first novel.

Once Maurice has had a taste of literary fame, he knows he can stop at nothing in pursuit of that high. Moving from the Amalfi Coast, where he matches wits with Gore Vidal, to Manhattan and London, Maurice hones his talent for deceit and manipulation, preying on the talented and vulnerable in his cold-blooded climb to the top. But the higher he climbs, the further he has to fall. . . .

Sweeping across the late twentieth century, A Ladder to the Sky is a fascinating portrait of a relentlessly immoral man, a tour de force of storytelling, and the next great novel from an acclaimed literary virtuoso.
