Innamorarsi di Ana
by Alejandro CernudaIl libro parla della storia di uno stranierio che arriva a Ciego Montero con la doppia intenzione di terminare di scrivere un libro e investigare sulla vita di suo padre, che secondo le sue poche conoscenze è cubano. Lo straniero Elliot Kleinn conosce Ana, una ragazza semplice che vive con il marito nella casa dove ha trovato alloggio, e s'innamora di lei. Ana sogna Parigi e Kleinn la sorprende con i suoi racconti. La ragazza, annoiata e stanca del maschilismo del marito, non tarderà molto a concedersi allo straniero. Il marito di Ana, geloso e sospettoso, li sorprende nel bel mezzo del tradimento, o come direbbe Shakespeare, facendo la bestia a due groppe. Fine del racconto. Visto così, l'argomento sembrerebbe rassomigliarsi a tanti altri melodrammi con una fine tragica e prevedibile. Solo che è in questo dove si può trovare la prima differenza, qua niente sembra essere quello che è.
