Una obra maestra para la Galer a de las Batallas Le Monde ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "El H sar is my first novel.Written in 1983 between two war articles, at that time I had no intentions to dedicate myself to writing literature, and published almost by chance by a publishing company with which I never maintained a good relationship, it has taken me almost twenty years to recover the publication rights. Now this novel surfaces again, finally to the author's liking, with a suitable revision, corrected of errors and lightened of some unnecessary adverbs and adjectives.". Arturo P rez-Reverte
En ekstraordinær kærlighedsroman af forfatteren til bestsellerne Det flamske maleri, Dumas-Klubben og Fægtemesteren. Året er 1928. En atlanterhavsdamper glider gennem natten. Inciterende tangomusik flyder ud i mørket. På dansegulvet en kvinde og en mand, fremmede for hinanden og fra helt forskellige verdener. Det er overklassekvinden Mecha og livsnyderen Max, der er ansat af rederiet som professionel dansepartner. I 1937 genforenes de ved på Den Franske Riviera i skyggen af krigstruslerne, der hænger over Europa. Og næsten 40 år senere mødes de til en skakturnering i Italien og ser tilbage på det liv, de hver især har levet. Tangodanseren er en medrivende og dramatisk fortælling om et Europa i opbrud, om intriger og jetsetliv og om to mennesker, der går gennem tilværelsens tilskikkelser uden at miste stil og værdighed. Fortalt med tangoens dunkende rytme og med raffineret krydsklipning mellem tid og sted.
