Entre los 100 libros más notables del 2025, de acuerdo con el New York Times Un Mejor Libro de la NYPL de 2025 Finalista del International Booker Prize 2026. Un libro seleccionado por el club de lectura de A Late Show con Stephen Colbert El retrato de un legendario director de cine convertido en un arma de propaganda nazi. La nueva novela del finalista al Premio Booker Daniel Kehlmann, autor del fenómeno editorial más importante en Alemania desde El perfume.«El mejor escritor alemán de su generación. Deslumbrante. Una novela que engancha'. -Salman Rushdie>Su fracaso y las noticias sobre la enfermedad de su anciana madre lo llevarán de regreso a su Austria natal, ahora ocupada, en lo que supondrá la oportunidad perfecta para que el ministro de Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, pueda captar de nuevo al genio del cine. Pabst está decidido a no dejarse someter por ninguna dictadura y responder solo ante el séptimo arte, pero la telaraña de la maquinaria nazi ha empezado a encerrarle en una posición desesperada. Daniel Kehlmann retrata con maestría el pacto fáustico que dio lugar al descenso de Pabst a los infiernos, al convertirse en el cineasta del Tercer Reich. El director explora las complicadas relaciones entre arte y poder, belleza y barbarie, gloria y fracaso, en una novela tan entretenida como mordaz. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNew York Times 100 Notable Book of 2025 An NYPL Best Book of 2025 A Late Show with Stephen Colbert Book Club Pick Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026 "Nothing short of brilliant." --The Wall Street JournalFrom "a surpassingly gifted storyteller" (The New York Times), a visionary novel inspired by the life of film director G.W. Pabst, who fled to Hollywood to resist the Nazis only to return to his homeland to create propaganda films for the German Reich.>G.W. Pabst, one of cinema's greatest directors of the 20th century, was filming in France when the Nazis seized power. To escape the horrors of the new and unrecognizable Germany, he fled to Hollywood. But now, under the blinding California sun, the world-famous director suddenly looks like nobody. Not even Greta Garbo, the Hollywood actress whom he made famous, can help him. When he receives word that his elderly mother is ill, he finds himself back in his homeland of Austria, which is now called Ostmark. Pabst, his wife, and his young son are suddenly confronted with the barbaric nature of the regime. So, when Joseph Goebbels--the minister of propaganda in Berlin--sees the potential for using the European film icon for his directorial genius and makes big promises to Pabst and his family, Pabst must consider Goebbels's thinly veiled order. While Pabst still believes that he will be able to resist these advances, that he will not submit to any dictatorship other than art, he has already taken the first steps into a hopeless entanglement. Kehlmann's latest oeuvre explores the complicated relationships and distinctions between art and power, beauty and barbarism, cog and conspirator.
