Desfile De Ciervos

Publisher Marketing: El retrato de la Familia Real que le fue encargado al pintor Antonio Lopez en 1994 ha tardado veinte anos en pintarse. El lienzo con las figuras abocetadas habia permanecido todo ese tiempo en una estancia del Palacio de Oriente, cubierto con unas sabanas. Esta novela trata de recobrar el mito de Dorian Gray, como un retrato literario paralelo. Puede que haya sido la vida que ha discurrido en la calle durante ese tiempo la que ha trabajado por su cuenta la obra. Que pudo aparecer en el lienzo cuando se levantaron las sabanas? Junto con la concepcion del arte, tal vez, la corrupcion politica y la degradacion de los valores morales, crimenes, bodas y otros bailes, acaecidos en este pais durante los ultimos veinte anos, estaran inscritos en los rostros derruidos y formaran tambien una parte esencial del paisaje. Este mito de Dorian Gray lo aborda Manuel Vicent con la lucidez y el ingenio que caracterizan su escritura. Critica social e inteligente cronica de nuestro tiempo. English Description The portrait of the royal family that was commissioned to painter Antonio Lopez in 1994 has taken 20 years to paint. All this time, the canvas with sketched figures was left in a room of the Royal Palace, covered by sheets. This novel revives the myth of Dorian Gray, like a parallel literary portrait. Can it be that the life that has flowed through the streets during that time was completing the work on its own? What would have appeared on the canvas when they lifted the sheets? Along with the conception of art, maybe, political corruption and the degradation of moral values, crimes, weddings and otherdancesall that has taken place in Spain during the last twenty yearswill be written in the demolished faces, and will also form an essential part of the landscape."
