La Mujer Del Teniente Frances Spanish edition

Bahia de Lyme, 1867. El joven Charles Smithson ha ido a visitar a su prometida. Llevado por su aficion a la paleontologia, hace largas excursiones por los bosques en busca de fosiles. En una de ellas conoce a Sarah Woos­roff, a la que los lugarenos llaman «la mujer del teniente frances», por el romance que vivio con un marino de esa nacionalidad que despues la abandono. Entre ambos personajes nace un amor apasionado que chocara violentamente con la rigida moral victoriana. Manipulando ingeniosamente las convenciones del narrador omnisciente decimononico y los cliches de la novela victoriana, Fowles construye un brillantisimo libro que, por un lado, relata una apasionante historia de amor y, por otro, propone una aguda reflexion sobre el sentido ultimo de la literatura. La novela fue objeto de una aplaudida version cinematografica protagonizada por Meryl Streep y Jeremy Irons. «Magnifico tour de force» (Times Literary Supplement). «Una esplendida, lucida y muy satisfactoria creacion artistica» (J. Price, New Statesman). «Un libro apasionante y una insuperable muestra de talento narrativo» (John Higgins, Financial Times). / Lyme Bay, 1867. The young Charles Smithson has gone to visit his fiancée. Driven by his interest in paleontology, he goes on long excursions into the woods in search of fossils. During one of these occasions, he meets Sarah Woos-roff, whom the locals call ""the French lieutenant's woman"", due to the affair she once had with a sailor that later abandoned her. A passionate love is born between them that will violently clash with rigid Victorian morality. Ingeniously manipulating the conventions of the nineteenth century omniscient narrator and the clichés of the victorian novel, John Fowles has created a very brilliant book which on one hand tells a passionate love story and on the other offers a sharp reflection on the ultimate meaning of literature. This book was the inspiration for the celebrated film which starred Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.
