✦ Synopsis


PREMIO PULITZER 2023

Un deslumbrante puzle literario: la misteriosa historia de un magnate de los años veinte en varias versiones que se complementan o contradicen.

En los triunfales años veinte, Benjamin Rask y su esposa Helen dominan Nueva York: él, un magnate financiero que ha amasado una fortuna; ella, la hija de unos excéntricos aristócratas. Pero a medida que la década se acerca a su fin, y sus excesos revelan un lado oscuro, a los Rask empiezan a rodearlos las sospechas...

Ese es el punto de partida de Obligaciones, una exitosa novela de 1937 que todo Nueva York parece haber leído y que cuenta una historia que puede, sin embargo, contarse de algunas otras formas. Hernán Díaz compone en Fortuna un magistral puzle literario: una suma de voces, de versiones confrontadas que se complementan, se matizan y se contradicen, y, al hacerlo, ponen al lector ante las fronteras y los límites entre la realidad y la ficción, entre la verdad –acaso imposible de encontrar– y su versión manipulada.

Fortuna explora los entresijos del capitalismo americano, el poder del dinero, las pasiones y las traiciones que mueven las relaciones personales y la ambición que todo lo malea.

He aquí una novela que, mientras recorre el siglo XX, atrapa al lector en la primera página y no lo suelta hasta la última, manteniéndolo en permanente tensión gracias al fascinante juego literario que propone, repleto de sorpresas y giros inesperados.
