American Psycho (Spanish Edition)

Bret Easton Ellis

La novela mas infame de Bret Easton Ellis: un clasico contemporaneo que se ha convertido en simbolo de una generacion.

El sofisticado, inteligente y vanidoso Patrick Bateman trabaja en Wall Street, idolatra al joven magnate Donald Trump, cena en los restaurantes de moda de Nueva York y es capaz de distinguir un traje Armani a cincuenta metros de distancia. Tambien le gusta violar, torturar, asesinar y desmembrar.

American Psycho, la novela mas polemica de Bret Easton Ellis, se ha convertido en el reflejo mas descarnado de la sociedad hipermaterialista de finales de los 80 y en una de las obras maestras de finales del siglo xx. Bret Easton Ellis lanza una critica corrosiva hacia el egoismo y la depravacion del capitalismo exacerbado: un retrato desolador, ironico y rabiosamente vigente de un mundo al borde del colapso en el que todavia vivimos.

La novela mas infame de Bret Easton Ellis: un clasico contemporaneo que se ha convertido en simbolo de una generacion. American Psycho sigue siendo la exegesis literaria mas indispensable y salvaje sobre la sociedad que hemos construido. Irvine Welsh.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The modern classic, the basis of a Broadway musical, and major motion picture from Lion’s Gate Films starring Christian Bale, Chloe Sevigny, Jared Leto, and Reese Witherspoon, and directed by Mary Harron.

In American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our time or any other. Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, Bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.
