Résumé :
El nuevo libro del autor considerado por la cr?tica ?el Modiano espa?ol? (Le Figaro).

Una novela deslumbrante sobre el amor y el deseo.

El enamoramiento es un pa?s inventado por el deseo.

Tras la muerte de su madre, el hallazgo de unas cartas guardadas durante d?cadas lleva al protagonista de esta novela -un profesor universitario cercano a la sesentena- a revisar su propia vida y la de sus padres, moldeadas y distorsionadas -todas ellas- por sus distintas relaciones amorosas.

Convertido en corresponsal de su propia existencia, el narrador se ve inmerso en un combate contra s? mismo que, entre lo instintivo y lo racional, le conduce al convencimiento de ser s?lo un eslab?n de la cadena que le conecta con todos aquellos que a lo largo de los siglos amaron y perdieron.

Oriente es una novela sobre el amor como m?scara del deseo y de la pasi?n, cuya grandeza encierra su propio fin. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The new book by the author considered by critics to be the Spanish Modiano. -Le Figaro A dazzling novel about love and desire. Falling in love is a country invented by desire. After his mother's death, the discovery of some decades-old letters leads the protagonist of this novel-a university professor close to his sixties-to review his own life and those of his parents, all of which have been shaped and distorted by their different romantic relationships. Now a correspondent of his own life, the narrator finds himself immersed in a combat against himself. Somewhere between instinctive and rational, it leads him to the conviction that he is only a link in the chain that connects him with all those throughout the centuries who have loved and lost. East is a novel about love as a mask of desire and of passion, whose grandeur contains its own end.
