LA NUEVA NOVELA DE ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE Una novela de mar, amor y aventuras en el Egeo durante los años de la Guerra Civil española. Buscaba la boca del hombre con la suya, húmeda de sal.-¿Tienes frío? -preguntó él.-No, no Tengo miedo.-¿A qué?-A cuando te hayas ido y esto se borre de mi memoria.Presionó contra él su cuerpo goteante; y Jordán, mojada la ropa, la acogió entre los brazos estrechándola muy fuerte.-Maldito seas, capitán Mihalis -susurró ella de pronto.Tardó él un momento en comprender.-Sí -dijo al fin.Alzó el rostro para contemplar la bóveda de estrellas, que parecía haber descendido para instalarse en torno a los dos y su abrazo, envolviéndolos hasta el final de los tiempos. Como si estuvieran solos en la última noche del mundo. Abril de 1937. Mientras en España transcurre la guerra civil, el marino mercante Miguel Jordán Kyriazis es enviado por el bando sublevado para atacar de modo clandestino el tráfico naval que desde la Unión Soviética transporta ayuda militar para la República. En la base de operaciones, una pequeña isla del mar Egeo, la vida del corsario español se cruzará en turbio triángulo con la de los propietarios, el barón Katelios y su esposa: una seductora mujer madura que busca, con fría desesperación, el modo de escapar a su destino.La crítica ha dicho:'Obra maestra. [...] En cada obra del género Pérez-Reverte (podría decir que su estilo literario ha creado un género que únicamente él puede escribir) impone sutiles variaciones en que se juega mucho. [Sin embargo], nunca llegó tan hondo en el dibujo del fin del amor ni alcanzó tan soberbias frases'.José María Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC 'Una emocionantísima novela de aventuras, amor y guerra'.Jacinto Antón, El País'Una auténtica historia de corsarios modernos, donde lo bueno y lo malo es relativo, que contiene todos los ingredientes propios de la aventura'.Javier Ors, La Razón 'La isla de la mujer dormida avanza entre pasajes de acción y remansos reflexivos. Las parcas descripciones se atienen a una impresionista notación de colores y olores. Creativas imágenes paisajistas croman el relato. Nunca afloja el suspense. Arturo Pérez-Reverte maneja con sabiduría técnica e intuición artística estos clásicos recursos narrativos para ofrecer una mirada penetrante y exenta de todo moralismo sobre la compleja condición humana'.Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Cultural'Volvemos a la aventura, la acción, la guerra, los héroes y los villanos. De nuevo, funciona: ritmo impecable, notable intuición para mostrar los detalles más sugerentes, personajes atractivos'.Ángel Peña, The Objective 'Un duro relato de mar. [?] Una narración donde salen a la luz asuntos esenciales'.Irene Adler, La Región Sobre el autor:'Me gusta Pérez-Reverte, me recuerda a Dumas y Salgari'.Umberto Eco'El novelista más perfecto de la literatura española de nuestro tiempo'.El País 'Pérez-Reverte sabe cómo retener al lector a cada vuelta de página'.The New York Times Book Review 'Arturo Pérez-Reverte elabora sus novelas como un viejo barman español refinado y elegante que se emborrachase de vez en cuando con Corto Maltés'.Minute'Pérez-Reverte ha inventado novelas y géneros que no existían en España'.Alexis Grohmann 'La etapa creativa que está atravesando Arturo Pérez-Reverte resulta asombrosa'.Sergio Vila-Sanjuán, La Vanguardia

Source material for Nolan's trilogy is powerful writing and art...
Format: Paperback
The Long Halloween is great, but I actually had more fun reading through Dark Victory. It's a crime mystery that consistently had me guessing through to the conclusion about who The Hangman's true identity was. What I really loved most was the evolution of the characters' personalities--from Jim Gordon to Harvey Dent to Bruce (who really is more in his iconic "Batman" persona here)--that began in Batman: Year One to Batman: The Long Halloween and into Batman: Dark Victory. It really does work like a trilogy. It's also notable to include Gotham city's underworld itself as a character of its own. Batman begins (pardon the pun) in Year One with a quest to sort of rid the city of the mafia, which is and has been the main criminal body up until this point. In The Long Halloween, the mafia begins to lose power because of the rise of the Batman's presence. During that time, some of the most insane and dangerous criminals escape Arkham Asylum and begin quietly terrorizing the city anew, spreading like a virus. Slowly, the "freaks"--as the mafia calls them--start to gain more and more power by simply being a more unorganized crime source (as opposed to organized crime). Characters like Pamela Isley, Solomon Grundy, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, Scarecrow, the Joker, and others, establish and strengthen their grips on Gotham's criminal underworld. It's nice that these villains--these "freaks"--also aren't the main conflict in Dark Victory (or The Long Halloween or Year One, for that matter); they appear when it is effective for them to appear, slowly taking more prominence in the setting of the story as it progresses. The main conflict has to deal with the solving of the mysteries behind The Hangman killings. The Long Halloween and Dark Victory are, primarily, crime mysteries, which is what makes them interesting. What makes them great literature, however, is the creative team that is Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. Loeb's writing is really well-crafted here: the entire arc unfolds at a consistent pace and he balances out dialogue with Batman's internal narration very smoothly. And, as I mentioned previously, personality and narrative arcs of the main characters (Gordon, Batman, and Dent) have fully matured by this point in the trilogy, leaving the supporting characters a chance to evolve and come into their own. Much of these progressions are not just depicted by the writing, however; Tim Sale (who worked previously with Loeb on The Long Halloween) elevates and perfects his artwork in this story. There's not a change in the look of the characters, so you know it's definitely his style, but you sense immediately (especially if reading Dark Victory right after finishing The Long Halloween) the new level of attention paid to composition of the drawings. Shadows and silhouettes, contrasts between setting and characters, everything adds to the mood and atmosphere of the characters and the scenes they're a part of. In terms of the print itself, the paperback is excellent. This and The Long Halloween have really nice paper, which I'll catch myself sometimes randomly sniffing in the middle of a read to enjoy the new paper smell. The ink is really crisp, the colors pop, and the design of the book itself is laid out very clearly. There aren't page numbers or a contents page, but every issue is separated by chapter pages that include gorgeous, high-contrast artwork to help distinguish which issue you're on. Additionally, the print comes with an introduction by David S. Goyer, who co-wrote the Nolan film trilogy. Overall, I can't stress enough how gorgeous this trade paperback is and how excellent and top-tier this story arc is. I really enjoyed it just as much, if not more so, then The Long Halloween. No other Batman story arc has topped my enjoyment of this particular trilogy. Highly recommended in addition to Batman: Year One and Batman: The Long Halloween.

One of the best Bat stories that I've read.
Format: Paperback
Coming off from The Long Halloween, Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale give us the sequel to their popular story tale in which we see Batman go at it with another year long mystery, while also giving us an origin story for the first Robin, Dick Grayson. After reading this book, I have come away having with even more love of the Dark Knight's mythology, while coming to see this as my favorite Batman story that I have read, even if it doesn't stand as well on its own. ON the narrative side of things, Loeb delivers a story fairly similar to the one he gave in The Long Halloween, though I feel this one is a bit more polished than Halloween was. Some have said that the retreading of plot structure have limited the way Loeb's later works are read, but I myself have no problem with it (for the most part), Loeb manages to do enough differently that you don't feel like you're reading the exact same story. The real big negative I'd have to give this graphic novel is that it really doesn't stand as well by itself than if you had read The Long Halloween. While I myself read that story before coming in to this one, I did see many connections that I would assume would through off any newcomers who hadn't read the prior story. But I will say that this is the story that had me invested the most emotionally. Without giving away any spoilers, that last page in the novel gave me such a cathartic experience that I really came to appreciate certain aspects of the Dark Knight's mythology, and how themes of loneliness were touched upon in a very genuine way. Looking at the art for the novel, Sale's work has improved much from The Long Halloween. I always mention in reviews concerning Sale that I was originally not a fan of his art, but after going through his work, you can't help but admire the level skill he manages to put in his drawings. There is a very big noir feeling in this novel (a plus for ) that is just delivered so well that any preferences in art I may have against Sale are put away in admiring the way he plays with lighting in the story. My biggest complaint for the art, which is a more of a personal thing really, is that I do not like the "pixie" costume they gave Robin (which is his default costume that many would associate him with). I have never really liked this costume, probably never will, but again, this is just me. Overall, I would say I really enjoyed the novel and would have to recommend it to any fans of the Batman (although I'd make sure you have read The Long Halloween first). This has come to be one of my most favorited Batman stories I've read, and I hope others will receive the same level of satisfaction that I have.
