Alfred cambia Biblia y tirabuzones por periódicos y cafés humeantes, decidido a escribir su propio destino. Franz, su hijo, encuentra en la profesión de cirujano su utopía. Lis, hija de una familia burguesa, se rebela: estudia Medicina, se psicoanaliza con discípulos de Freud, milita en la izquierda y convierte los salones de la alta burguesía en tapadera de congresos clandestinos.
Mientras, el nazismo avanza y llega el tiempo de tomar decisiones extremas. Entre cabarets, revueltas, amores, amistad y barricadas, La vida en rojo retrata la caída de un mundo y el nacimiento de otro en esta saga familiar, cuyos personajes ponen en entredicho su identidad. Una novela sobre la pregunta que atraviesa todo un siglo: ¿de qué lado de la historia elegimos vivir?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
IN IMPERIAL, CULTURED, AND DECADENT VIENNA, TWO FAMILIES INTERTWINE THEIR FATES IN A STORY OF SECRET PASSIONS AND HIDDEN ORIGINS.
Alfred trades his Bible and corksrew for newspapers and steaming cups of coffee, determined to write down his own destiny. Franz, his son, finds his utopia in the practice of surgery. Lis, the daughter of a bourgeois family, rebels: she studies medicine, undergoes psychoanalysis with Freud’s disciples, becomes active in the leftist movement, and turns the salons of the upper class into a cover for clandestine meetings.
Meanwhile, Nazism advances, and the time comes to make extreme decisions. Amid cabarets, uprisings, love affairs, friendship, and barricades, La vida en rojo portrays the fall of one world and the birth of another in this family saga, whose characters question their very identities. A novel about the question that spans an entire century: on which side of history do we choose to live?
