About the Book

¿Puede Simón, un escultor de conocida adscripción republicana, vivir una experiencia transformadora tras salir de la cárcel en la España de 1940? A punto de morir a causa de una vieja herida de guerra, Ana -su mujer- consigue de un antiguo amigo, ahora en el gobierno de Franco, que lo envíen a un pueblecito de Montes de Toledo a restaurar una antigua esfinge, parcialmente destruida por los bombardeos de la contienda. Aturdido por la soledad y la pobreza, accede en agradecimiento a Ana, a pesar de tratarse de una tarea de canteros.En el pueblo vivirá las dos caras de la existencia en años de tensos silencios: por un lado, la amenazante hostilidad de algunos del bando vencedor; por otro, la proximidad de quienes no han cambiado con las desventuras de la guerra. Y entre ellos, conocerá a dos seres extraños y apacibles que contribuirán a dar un giro inesperado y definitivo a su vida: Fidel, un muchacho apenas adolescente que se convertirá en su ayudante, y Asunta, una misteriosa y solitaria mujer mucho más joven que él, que vive con su asistenta en la Casa Alta de Amón, el hogar apartado y tranquilo de sus antepasados. Descendiente del hombre que mandó construir la esfinge cien años antes, ayudará a Simón a inspirarse para dar con el primitivo rostro de esta, del que no se guardan esquemas ni fotografías, mientras ambos se dejan llevar por una ambigua relación de amistad y amor que irá cambiando la percepción que el escultor tiene del mundo, sin llegar a darse cuenta del terrible secreto que en ella se esconde. Un trágico suceso le hará tomar una decisión sin precedentes en su vida.Si bien en esta historia algunos hechos se desarrollan en un contexto social y geográfico identificable, se muestran alterados por la ideación del autor, que los entremezcla de asimetrías fantásticas en las que prevalece lo espiritual sobre lo meramente físico, lo intangible sobre lo palpable, lo imaginativo sobre lo real, lo ideal sobre lo pragmático, lo maravilloso sobre lo cotidiano y lo noble sobre lo vulgar.
