Synopsis of the project “The Lovers Faithful to Poe”

“The Lovers Faithful to Poe is that fleetingly eternal love story that never gets close enough to be touched, yet at the same time never moves far enough away to disappear; it is that story that sometimes takes the form of a timid spark and at other times becomes a fire that fiercely consumes the reader. Javier de Diego de la Esperanza manages in his novel to lay bare the nature of human bonds, building a solid psychological framework that tenderly embraces individual paradoxes and contradictions, inviting the reader to see themselves reflected in it. Likewise, the author delicately and brilliantly intertwines the emotional complexity of the characters with the sociopolitical context of the time: a Spain tentatively stepping into the 21st century with fear, catastrophes, rebellion, and change. The Lovers Faithful to Poe is love, heartbreak, politics, youth, anecdote, spirit, and above all, vertigo”. María Gozalo Arenal.
