Offered in 0 more formatsAnne Rice nos escolta de regreso en el tiempo al obsesionantemente hermoso mundo de los castrati del siglo XVIII: los "sopranos" como niños, famosos en las cortes reales y en los teatros de la ópera de toda Europa. La obsesión de la autora con la mortalidad y la pérdida continúa en la forma de la tortuosa existencia de los castrati, adulados por sus voces gloriosas, pero a quienes también se les rechazaba como a un tercer sexo. La autora se centra en la tortuosa, emocionante, dramatica y apasionada vida de uno de ellos desde su mas tierna niñez, para adentrarnos en este viciado laberinto de los castrati y, con su historia personal, retratarnos una época, una sociedad y, como en la mayoría de sus obras, las mas humanas pasiones y miedos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The author makes real the exquisite and otherworldly society of the eighteenth-century castrati, the delicate and alluring male sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices brought them the adulation of the royal courts and grand opera houses of Europe, men who lived as idols while concealing pain.
