Synopsis "Tres Vidas de Santos (in Spanish)"

De extension y ambientacion diversa, estos tres relatos guardan un rasgo comun. En ellos hay personajes que podrian calificarse de santos: no son martires ni anacoretas, pero estan dispuestos a renunciar a todo por una idea; pueden ser considerados locos o genios y siempre transitan las zonas mas oscuras del espiritu. La ballena es el relato mas cercano a las cronicas barcelonesas que han hecho celebre a Eduardo Mendoza, y se inicia en el Congreso Eucaristico de 1952; El final de Dubslav, la de mas insolita ambientacion geografica ?Africa?, es una narracion de rotunda intensidad con un final impresionante; y por ultimo, El malentendido es una profunda reflexion sobre la creacion literaria y el dificil dialogo entre clases sociales, ademas de una variacion seria del personaje del lumpen que inspira al detective de El misterio de la cripta embrujada, El laberinto de las aceitunas y La aventura del tocador de senoras. Hay en Eduardo Mendoza dos facetas como narrador: una parodica y otra seria, siempre con detalles ironicos o humoristicos. En Tres vidas de santos, Mendoza se expresa con voz parecida a la de sus relatos parodicos, pero invirtiendo la proporcion entre broma y gravedad. Quien busque en este libro la inconfundible voz de Eduardo Mendoza la hallara junto con su sensata capacidad de reflexion, su ternura y alguna sonrisa.
