Sinopsis de BRAT FARRAR

In "Brat Farrar," Josephine Tey deftly intertwines elements of psychological suspense and classic whodunit, illuminating the intricacies of identity and deceit against the backdrop of the English countryside. The narrative follows the enigmatic Brat, who assumes the identity of a rich heir while unraveling the dark secrets surrounding the Ashby family. Teys elegant prose and keen psychological insight, paired with her ability to weave a tightly plotted mystery, underscore the tension between appearance and reality. The novel reflects the 20th-century evolution of the detective genre, offering a fresh take that challenges conventional notions of crime and motive. Josephine Tey, a prominent figure in the golden age of crime fiction, infused her works with nuanced characters and intricate plots. Born Elizabeth Mackintosh, her own experiences with familial relationships and identity crises likely influenced her exploration of similar themes in "Brat Farrar." Drawing from her tumultuous childhood and a passion for the theater, Tey skillfully crafts a narrative that not only engages readers but also invites them to ponder deeper existential questions about selfhood and morality. Highly recommended for fans of psychological thrillers and classic mysteries alike, "Brat Farrar" invites readers into a world where trust is perilous, and nothing is as it seems. Teys masterful storytelling and rich character development ensure a reading experience that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply engrossing, making it a timeless addition to the canon of crime literature.

Escrito por Josephine Tey


Josephine Tey
(Inverness, 1896-Londres, 1952), es el seudónimo principal de Elizabeth Mackintosh, célebre escritora y dramaturga escocesa. Pese a pertenecer cronológicamente a la llamada Edad de Oro de las novelas británicas de intriga, las narraciones y los personajes de Tey se alejan de los estereotipos que comparten los títulos clásicos de suspense. En 1929, su novela The man in the Queue cosechó un éxito notable e introdujo a su personaje más famoso, el inspector Alan Grant, de Scotland Yard, que protagonizaría otras cinco novelas, entre las cuales cabe destacar La hija del tiempo (1951; RBA, 2012) y Un chelín para velas (1936; Hoja de Lata, 2019). Al margen de la serie de Alan Grant, otras de sus obras más celebradas son La señorita Pym dispone (1946; Hoja de Lata, 2015), El caso de Betty Kane (1948; Hoja de Lata, 2017) y Patrick ha vuelto. Todas ellas ponen de manifiesto la gran capacidad de análisis psicológico de la autora y su propensión por las tramas abiertas de final sorprendente. A su muerte, Josephine Tey legó toda su obra a la National Trust for Scotland.
