El aroma del tiempo
by Núria PradasUna gran novela sobre el fascinante y glamuroso mundo del perfume. A los once años Pablo Soto se queda huérfano y tiene que viajar, en tiempos de la Gran Guerra, hasta la ciudad francesa de Grasse, capital del perfume, donde vivirá con sus tíos y su primo. En Francia no solamente encuentra el cariño y el calor de una familia, sino que disfruta de la oportunidad única de adentrarse en el mundo de la perfumería bajo la maestría del gran perfumista franco-ruso Ernest Beaux, de la mano del cual llegará a conocer a Coco Chanel. Es el momento de la creación de un perfume que hará historia: Chanel Nº 5. Ni un amor imposible ni la nueva guerra que arrasa Europa impedirán que Pablo se convierta en un gran perfumista. Pero tampoco que sea un hombre que huye del pasado. Una fuga imposible, porque, a menudo, la vida es un perfume cuyo aroma se pierde en el tiempo. El aroma del tiempo nos adentra en uno de los momentos más glamurosos del siglo XX. Desde Grasse, cuna de la alta perfumería, a la Barcelona de posguerra, y pasando por el París de Coco Chanel, esta novela nos cuenta quién y cómo se hacen los perfumes, y nos relata la vida de un hombre que se hace a sí mismo y consigue el éxito tras superar los muchos golpes de la vida.
The Rainbow
by D. H. LawrenceBanned in Britain for over a decade because of its frank treatment of sexual love, D. H. Lawrence's controversial story traces three generations of a farming family. Spanning the period from 1840 to 1905, the novel portrays the effects of Britain's industrial revolution on the Brangwen clan, as their lives evolve from a pastoral idyll into the chaos of modernity. Lawrence considers the nuances of family and marital relations, examining the battle for dominance and the psychology of sex as well as an astonishing range of philosophical issues that include metaphysical views of God and the universe.Peopled by complex, multifaceted characters, the tale remains fresh and dynamic in its explorations of the factors behind romantic relationships and the effects of changing times on the individual and society. The women of The Rainbow are especially well drawn, and Lawrence champions many feminist issues that he explores further in the book's sequel, Women in Love.
