A metaphor for the decline of a social class, a country and the resentment that spreads like a plague penetrating to the core of its people, Rage is a tale of love and suspense that raises the tension with every successive page. Humour, misfortune, shrewd social commentary and thrilling erotic fantasy come together, offering the reader an inside vision of contemporary Argentina. Soon to be made into a film by acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro.

Paperback. Etat : New. Jose Maria, a construction worker, is in love with Rosa, a maid in an exclusive Buenos Aires mansion. Subjected to constant humiliation by his foreman, Jose Maria kills him. He hides on an empty floor in the mansion, and remains there for years without even raising Rosas' suspicion. Jose Maria silently observes his lover in her most intimate moments and watches the decadent behaviour of the owners and their hypocritical relationships.However, Jose Maria will also be privy to more humiliating experiences - he watches as Rosa is raped by the young son of the family, and later becomes pregnant by a repulsive neighbour. Still, in the midst of all this and from his bizarre, self-imposed imprisonment, Jose Maria will, somehow, be able to reflect upon and understand the joys of fatherhood - that is, before he meets his final fate. A metaphor for the decline of a social class, a country and the resentment that spreads like a plague penetrating to the core of its people, "Rage" is also a tale of love and suspense that raises the tension with each successive page until it unavoidably shifts toward an intimate, shattering catastrophe.Humour, misfortune, shrewd social commentary and thrilling erotic fantasy come together, offering the reader an inside vision of contemporary Argentina.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
