About This Book

Un narrador en primera persona reconstruye la vida y los enseres de una mujer célebre en los salones, y cuenta su intensa relación con un joven admirador: un amor apasionado marcado por la enfermedad, la marginación social y la presión familiar que los obliga a separarse. La mujer realiza un gesto de renuncia para preservar el futuro del amante, sacrificio que conduce a una muerte temprana. La obra combina descripción de ambientes y objetos lujosos con reflexiones sobre la hipocresía social, la fragilidad del cuerpo y la redención que puede ofrecer el desprendimiento.
