Description
«Es difícil y obsceno soslayar la mirada de un hombre que se desangra hasta morir, pero más difícil aún es sostenerla e intentar zambullirse en el torbellino de pasiones confusas y secretos póstumos que se agolpa en sus retinas.» Así comienza esta novela. Para el lector que la aborde, también será difícil sustraerse a la prosa envolvente e hipnótica de su autor. Alejandro Ballesteros, joven profesor de arte, llega en mitad del invierno a Venecia, una ciudad arrasada por la nieve y las inundaciones, dispuesto a completar sus estudios sobre el misterioso cuadro del pintor renacentista Giorgione que da título a esta novela. En apenas cuatro días, Ballesteros es testigo del asesinato de un famoso falsificador de arte, se enamora de una mujer excepcional y conoce a personajes tenebrosos unidos por la clandestinidad del delito. Y todo ello en el marco de una ciudad donde la vida y el arte se confunden y donde nada es lo que parece. La tempestad es una novela de intriga y a la vez una reflexión sobre el arte entendido como religión del sentimiento, una novela sobre el imperio de los sentidos y la condena inaplazable de los recuerdos.
