The Master es la inimitable mirada de un espléndido escritor, Colm TóibÃn, a la vida de uno de los artistas más emblemáticos: Henry James. Podemos imaginarlo por las calles de Londres, intentando buscar consuelo al fracaso de su obra teatral. Más tarde lo vemos caminar por Venecia, cruzando puentes para ir a una recepción fastuosa y aburrida, o rastreando en las aguas de la laguna para dar con las prendas de una amiga que decidió despedirse de la vida. Luego lo encontramos en el estudio de su casa de campo en Rye, cruzando de arriba abajo la habitación en busca de la palabra adecuada, dejando que las letras serpenteen por el folio hasta que el párrafo entero galope. Henry James está vivo y es nuestro gracias al talento de Colm TóibÃn: aquà se despliega y respira el retrato de un hombre que habÃa nacido en Estados Unidos pero hizo suya Europa, y allà vivió sus miedos, sus dudas antes de aceptar la felicidad, y la búsqueda obsesiva de una escritura limpia y honda. Henry James y Colm TóibÃn: dos genios juntos en una sola novela, más allá del tiempo y del lugar que les tocó en suerte. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Colm TóibÃn's beautiful, subtle illumination of Henry James's inner life (The New York Times) captures the loneliness and hope of a master of psychological subtlety whose forays into intimacy inevitably fail those he tried to love. Beautiful and profoundly moving, The Master tells the story of Henry James, a man born into one of America's first intellectual families who leaves his country in the late nineteenth century to live in Paris, Rome, Venice, and London among privileged artists and writers. The emotional intensity of TóibÃn's portrait of James is riveting. Time and again, James, a master of psychological subtlety in his fiction, proves blind to his own heart and incapable of reconciling his dreams of passion with his own fragility. With stunningly resonant prose, The Master is unquestionably the work of a first-rate novelist: artful, moving, and very beautiful. --The New York Times Book Review
