Descriere magazin:
Splendid --New York Times Mind-bending. --Wall Street Journal Brilliantly original. The best new novel I\'ve read this year. --Salman Rushdie A daring, kaleidoscopic novel about the clash of empires and ideas, told through a tennis match in the sixteenth century between the radical Italian artist Caravaggio and the Spanish poet Francisco de Quevedo, played with a ball made from the hair of the beheaded Anne Boleyn. The poet and the artist battle it out in Rome before a crowd that includes Galileo, a Mary Magdalene, and a generation of popes who would throw the world into flames. In England, Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII execute Anne Boleyn, and her crafty executioner transforms her legendary locks into those most-sought-after tennis balls. Across the ocean in Mexico, the last Aztec emperors play their own games, as the conquistador Hern n Cort s and his Mayan translator and lover, La Malinche, scheme and conquer, fight and f**k, not knowing that their domestic comedy will change the course of history.

Sudden Death is the best kind of puzzle, its elements so esoteric and wildly funny that readers will race through the book, wondering how lvaro Enrigue will be able to pull a novel out of such an astonishing ball of string. But Enrigue absolutely does; and with brilliance and clarity and emotional warmth all the more powerful for its surreptitiousness. --Lauren Groff, New York Times-bestselling author of Fates and Furies Engrossing... rich with Latin and European history. --The New Yorker A] bawdy, often profane, sprawling, ambitious book that is as engaging as it is challenging. --Vogue Splendid --New York Times Mind-bending. --Wall Street Journal Brilliantly original. The best new novel I\'ve read this year. --Salman Rushdie A daring, kaleidosc
