Synopsis "La Torre del Orgullo"

La obra clasica que mejor retrato el espiritu de una epoca que desembocaria en el estallido de la Primera Guerra MundialLos veinticinco años que precedieron al estallido de la Primera Guerra Mundial han pasado a la historia bajo el nombre deBelle Epoque, una expresion amable y superficial que poco dice de los personajes y acontecimientos que provocaron el estallido de un conflicto que dividio aquella epoca de la nuestra, pero que, en cambio, describe perfectamente el espiritu de aquellos tiempos en los que, al compas de los valses de Strauss, se produjo el escandalo del proceso a Alfred Dreyfus y broto el descontento obrero, a la vez que se multiplicaban las brillantes fiestas del nacienteballetruso. EnLa torre del orgullo, Barbara W. Tuchman da vida a un conjunto de figuras y acontecimientos de una epoca mucho menos bella de lo que muchos creen, marcada por profundos contrastes, en la que una Europa convulsa convivia con otra adormecida, como ajena a la gran hecatombe que se avecinaba, la Gran Guerra de 1914-1918, que desbarato creencias, cambio ideas y, sobre todo, dejo heridas incurables en el espiritu.
