From the author of The Night Rainbow: a poignant, mysterious and
unforgettable story of love, and of the happy endings we conceive
for ourselvesWhat I want is something that makes me feel alive.
Joy, passion, despair, something to remember or something to
regret. I want to have my breath taken away. Baptiste Molino has
devoted his life to other people's happiness. Moored on his
houseboat on the edge of Toulouse, he helps his clients navigate
the waters of contentment, yet remains careful never to make waves
of his own. Baptiste is more concerned with his past than his
future: particularly the mysterious circumstances of his birth and
the identity of his birth mother. But Sophie, the young waitress in
his local bar, believes it is time for Baptiste to rediscover
passion and leads him into the world on his doorstep he has long
tried to avoid. However, it is Baptiste's new client who may end up
being the one to change his perspective. Elegant and enigmatic,
Amandine Rousseau is fast becoming a puzzle he longs to solve. As
tensions rise on the streets of the city, Baptiste's determination
to avoid both the highs and lows of love begins to waver. And when
his mother's legacy finally reveals itself, he finds himself torn
between pursuing his own happiness and safeguarding that of the one
he loves.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
