Synopsis "El Corazón del Tartaro / The Heart of the Tartar (in Spanish)"

La editora de libros medievales Sofía Zarzamala nunca pensó que el pasado pudiera irrumpir en su vida para sumergirla en los infiernos. Te he encontrado . Dice la voz de un hombre al otro lado de la línea telefónica, y con eso basta para que Sofía se vista a toda prisa y huya de su apartamento... El descenso de Sofía a los bajos fondos se alterna con su misterioso pasado. Tras veinticuatro horas repletas de caóticas experiencias, la luz aguarda al final del túnel. La crítica ha dicho... Rosa Montero combina con destreza los elementos dramáticos, dosificando la intriga y estableciendo acertados paralelismos: una supuesta obra inédita de Chrétien de Troyes con dos finales opuestos sirve de plantilla para el dilema de fondo: la posibilidad de luchar contra el destino que ha marcado la sangre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Medieval text editor Sofía Zarzamala never thought the past could burst into her life and drag her down to the depths of hell. "I have found you," said the voice at the other end of the line, and with those words, Sofía finds herself on the run. Scenes from her descent into the city's underworld alternate with her mysterious past. After twenty four hours of chaos, a light glimmers at the end of the tunnel.
