An epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an amazement--and a great gift for its readers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they''re broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he''ll not only be unable to overcome--but that will define his life forever.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In rich and resplendent prose, Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance.","brand":"Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55302210715992,"sku":"LIB-TA-LU-17","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/tan-poca-vida-hanya-yanagihara-9946426.jpg?v=1761781735"},{"product_id":"los-optimistas-narrativa-sexto-piso","title":"Los optimistas (NARRATIVA SEXTO PISO)","description":"\u003cp\u003eYale Tishman is one of the many friends of Nico who have gathered to honor his memory at a small party. At the same time, not far from there, the official funeral is being held in a church, organized by the family, who have made it clear that his friends are not welcome. It’s Chicago, it’s 1985, and those friends are gay. In other times, perhaps, Yale would have had everything to be happy: a stable relationship, a close-knit group of friends, and a promising career. However, it’s Chicago, it’s 1985, and AIDS is wreaking havoc: one by one, his friends fall ill, and each day the virus tightens its grip around Yale. Soon, he will only be able to rely on Nico’s younger sister, Fiona. Three decades later, Fiona is in Paris, trying to locate her daughter, who turned her back on her years ago and disappeared. Staying at the home of an old friend, Fiona still struggles with the devastating aftermath that that terrible time had on her life and her relationship with her daughter. Interweaving the stories of Yale and Fiona, Rebecca Makkai offers us a powerful novel that reflects on illness and death, but above all on the power of life, love, and friendship. The Optimists faithfully recreates the daily life of the gay community in the eighties, the paradoxical atmosphere of vitality and hope for the freedoms gained, and of uncertainty and fear in a time when a positive test was equivalent to a death sentence. Brutal and moving, this novel portrays with great humanity optimistic people who, even in the midst of the most dreadful disaster, continue to believe in goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“An absorbing and emotionally captivating story about what it means to live in times of crisis.”\u003cbr\u003eMichael Cunningham, The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editorial Sexto Piso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57188919902552,"sku":"9788418342516","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788418342516.jpg?v=1777240904"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/collections\/libros-aurora-echevarria.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
