> En ese escenario cargado de vivencias, dos hombres se citan para cenar tras cuarenta años sin verse. De jóvenes habían sido amigos inseparables, pero luego sus caminos se bifurcaron: uno se marchó a Extremo Oriente y el otro, en cambio, permaneció hasta hoy en su propiedad. Sin embargo, ambos han vivido a la espera de este momento, pues entre ellos se interpone un secreto de una fuerza singular. Todo converge en un duelo sin armas, aunque tal vez mucho más cruel, cuyo punto en común es el recuerdo imborrable de una mujer.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Originally published in 1942 and now rediscovered to international acclaim, this taut and exquisitely structured novel by the Hungarian master Sandor Marai conjures the melancholy glamour of a decaying empire and the disillusioned wisdom of its last heirs.
In a secluded woodland castle an old General prepares to receive a rare visitor, a man who was once his closest friend but who he has not seen in forty-one years. Over the ensuing hours host and guest will fight a duel of words and silences, accusations and evasions. They will exhume the memory of their friendship and that of the General's beautiful, long-dead wife. And they will return to the time the three of them last sat together following a hunt in the nearby forest--a hunt in which no game was taken but during which something was lost forever.
Embers is a classic of modern European literature, a work whose poignant evocation of the past also seems like a prophetic glimpse into the moral abyss of the present
