Información de este libro electrónico

De la mano de una de las autoras más brillantes del pasado siglo, asistimos a un estimulante recorrido por los paisajes más sórdidos y también más generosos del alma humana.Cuando Henry Marshalson y Cato Forbes se encuentran en Inglaterra después de varios años sin verse, su existencia no se halla en un momento precisamente fácil. Tras la muerte de su hermano mayor, Henry regresa de los Estados Unidos convertido en el heredero de una fortuna que no desea, de modo que decide deshacerse de todos sus bienes para disgusto de su madre. Cato, por su parte, se ve inmerso en una profunda crisis de valores que le lleva a replantearse cada una de sus creencias tras haberse enamorado de un seductor muchacho del barrio marginal de Londres en el que ejerce el sacerdocio. De manera inesperada, las vidas de estos dos hijos pródigos vuelven a mezclarse en una espiral de despropósitos y venganzas que van a desembocar en una sorprendente verdad: ninguno de los dos puede huir de sí mismo.

Autor

Iris Murdoch

Dame Jean Iris Murdoch nació en Dublín en 1919, aunque con semanas sus padres se trasladaron a Londres. Estudió en el Somerville College, de Oxford. En Cambridge tuvo como maestro a Wittgenstein. Escribió su primera novela, «Bajo la red», en 1954 (Impedimenta, 2018). Autora tremendamente prolífica, Impedimenta ha publicado también Una cabeza cercenada (1961), El unicornio (1963) y Henry y Cato (1976), Monjas y soldados (1980) y El libro y la hermandad (1987). Falleció a los 79 años, en 1999, y sus cenizas fueron esparcidas por el jardín del crematorio de Oxford.

    Bought 1990s?Another Murdoch that I think I read only the once, as I didn't remember much about it. Full of echoes of other novels, and the usual themes (surely EVERY novel in the world doesn't have an Irish person, a Jewish person, someone failing to write a book and someone with long red hair?) and a really interesting plot.

    There's never just one way to look at an Iris Murdoch novel. There are some wonderful conversations about religion here, as Murdoch finds beautifully elegant ways of expressing her contention that real faith requires a harsh, unadorned abandonment of personal pride. There are acute psychological studies of both love and cruelty. There are lovely descriptions of the English countryside and an argument against late modernism's attempt to force people into unnatural living spaces. And there's a bit of sex here, too. I don't think I've ever read a female writer who's so good at assuming the male gaze: seeing women the way that straight men do. Really, everything I've ever read by Murdoch deserves a few readings, but since you can't focus on everything at once, I got particularly interested in what might be called a kind of theodicty that runs through "Henry and Cato." When the book starts both of the book's title characters are in their thirties, frustrated and morally adrift. They both seem to have trouble coping with the inequality and evil present in the world, and much of the book is concerned with following their unsuccessful efforts to cope psychologically with these these unpleasant realities. Some of these arguments seem dated by the fall of communism, but, as the world still contains plenty of nastiness and injustice, much of their sold-searching, while occasionally frantic and annoyingly self-centered, still rings true.Of course, I wouldn't recommend any of Murdoch's books to readers who insist that the novels they read be realistic. Like her other books, "Henry and Cato" makes no real pretense at showing the world exactly as it is. But Murdoch's got that same talent that Evelyn Waugh had: the ability to create situations and characters that, while improbable in their specificities, seem to get at a larger truth. That's sort of out of fashion these days, but it's still the mark of real writing talent. And Iris Murdoch's talent is certainly on display here. Recommended to those who know what they're getting into.

    Brilliant, complex, philosophical novel from the mid-70s. In some ways it echoes the standard “impotent middle-aged male academic” novels of the period, but, as you’d expect from Iris Murdoch, there’s a lot more to it than that. There's a lot about the troublesome asymmetry of relationships, about the way we are always prepared to close our eyes to blindingly obvious things about other people’s lives (especially men about women), about the seductive attraction of unhappiness, about the nature of religious experience, about how violence and bullying work, and much else besides. Very impressive.
