A riveting love story about the redemptive power of suffering and a romance that transcends the limits of time and space This is an extraordinary debut novel - a riveting love story about the redemptive power of suffering and a romance that transcends the limits of time and space.Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, often violently, just like love.The nameless and beautiful narrator of The Gargoyle is driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and wakes up in a burns ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned. His life is over - he is now a monster.But in fact it is only just beginning. One day, Marianne Engel, a wild and compelling sculptress of gargoyles, enters his life and tells him that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly burned mercenary and she was a nun and a scribe who nursed him back to health in the famed monastery of Engelthal. As she spins her tale, Scheherazade fashion, and relates equally mesmerising stories of deathless love in Japan, Greenland, Italy and England, he finds himself drawn back to life - and, finally, to love.

El protagonista i narrador de La gàrgola, de qui mai no en sabrem el nom, pateix un greu accident de cotxe que el deixa postrat en un hospital especialitzat en cremats. Coneixem arrel d'aquest internament detalls sobre el seu passat més recent: nits de bogeria plenes de drogues i sexe sense control. Al llarg de la seva estada, anirem coneiexent també els demés personatges d'aquesta poderosa trama: els psiquiatres Gregor Hnatiuk, la terapeuta Mizumoto i, sobretot, una altra pacient, que és guanya la vida com a escultora de gàrgoles (d'aquí el títol), la Marianne Ángel, que establirà una relació molt personal amb el protagonista. La Marianne li explicarà aleshores que està convençuda que ells dos s'havien conegut en una altra vida, més exactament durant el segle XIV a Alemanya, mentres ella era monja d'un convent d'Engelthal i s'encarregava d'ajudar la monja cap de l'escriptorium del recinte. En una mena de comparació amb la Divina Comèdia de Dante, els dos protagonistas emprenen un vitge carregat de visions, simbologies i referències religioses que no se sap ben bé si pertànyen a aquest món o al dels somnis. La gàrgola és una extraordinària novel·la que transportarà el lector a una època plena de fantasia, un llibre que farà tornar les ganes de creure en l'amor sense condicions, en els miracles i en el poder de la redempció.

Secretos, aventura y misterio, pero sobre todo un gran tributo al amor verdadero, el único capaz de sanar, cambiar una vida y sobrevivir a la muerte. Una novela sorprendente, con sabor a gran clásico, que te hará creer en la fuerza del amor.
