About This Book

La novela arranca con la transformación vital de un joven tras el encuentro con una viuda seductora, y sigue su relación apasionada y cosmopolita, marcada por la exaltación amorosa, la exhibición social y la tensión entre deseo y reputación. En capítulos posteriores la narración amplía su foco hacia una saga familiar poderosa, retratando ambiciones políticas, luchas por el poder y las intrigas que generan enemigos y una reputación negativa. A través de episodios íntimos y panorámicas históricas se exploran la corrupción del poder, la supervivencia social y la ambivalencia moral de personajes públicos y privados.
