📗 Libro en inglés COLD SKIN

On the edge of the Antarctic Circle, in the years after World War One, a steam ship approaches a desolate island far from all shipping lanes. On board is a young man, on his way to assume the lonely post of weather observer, to live in solitude for a year at the end of the world. But on shore he finds no trace of the man whom he has been sent to replace, just a deranged castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. The rest is woods, a deserted cabin, rocks, silence, and the surrounding sea. And then night begins to fall . . . Albert Sanchez-Pinol''s "Cold Skin" is one of the strangest, most unsettling novels you will read this year, a tour de force full of dark resonance and sexual anxiety.
