Summary

La nueva novela del autor que enamoró a tres millones de lectores con La delicadeza y ganó el Premio Renaudot con Charlotte.
 
«Dentro de la literatura francesa, me gusta mucho Foenkinos, porque se sale de lo convencional y es capaz de reinventarse a sí mismo con cada libro.» Joël Dicker
 
Antoine Duris es profesor en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Lyon, pero, de un día para otro, decide dejarlo todo para convertirse en un guarda del Museo de Orsay; en concreto, de la sala que alberga el retrato de Jeanne Hebuterne, de Modigliani. Mathilde, su jefa en el museo, se encuentra tan perpleja como atraída por su extraña personalidad y el enigma de su vida. Algo terrible le ha sucedido, pero ¿qué? De momento, para sobrevivir, Antoine solo ha encontrado un remedio: dirigirse hacia la belleza.
 
Con ecos de la comedia romántica que lo consagró entre los lectores, La delicadeza, y también de la extraordinaria proeza literaria de Charlotte, ganadora del Premio Renaudot y el Renaudot des Lycéens), Hacia la belleza es una novela al mismo tiempo luminosa y oscura, llena de momentos y frases memorables, que nos invita a acercarnos, nosotros también, a la belleza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A new novel by the author who mesmerized over three million readers with Delicacy, and won the Renaudot Award with Charlotte.
 
“Within French literature, I very much like Foenkinos because he goes beyond the conventional and is able to reinvent himself in each new book.” - Joël Dicker
 
Antoine Duris is a professor at the Fine Arts Academy in Lyon, but suddenly one day, he decides to leave everything to become a guard at the Musée d'Orsay; in particular, the guard in the room that houses Modigliani’s portrait of Jeanne Hebuterne. Mathilde, his boss at the museum, is as perplexed as she is attracted by Antoine’s strange personality and the enigma of his life. Something terrible has happened to him, but what? For now, in order to survive, Antoine has found only one solution: to go towards beauty.
 
With remaining echoes from Delicacy, the romantic comedy that consecrated him among his readers, and with Charlotte’s extraordinary literary feat, Towards Beauty is a novel that is bright and dark at the same time, full of memorable moments and phrases, one that invites us to also get closer to beauty.
