Prostrated by disease on an island in French Polynesia, Paul Gauguin, the transgressive and rebel artist who would mark a turning point in the art of his time, sees the ghosts of his past appear before him. The House of Pleasure, provocative, bold, and shocking, is a new example of the talent of Zoé Valdés. / Postrado por la enfermedad en una paradisíaca isla de la Polinesia Francesa, Paul Gauguin, el artista transgresor y rebelde que marcaría un punto de inflexión en la pintura de su tiempo, ve comparecer ante él a los fantasmas de su pasado. Entre delirios febriles, Paul evoca sus días de exitoso banquero, dotado de un proverbial instinto para los negocios; y cómo, más tarde, la pintura se convertirá para él en una pasión irrefrenable, que le llevará a abandonarlo todo (y a todos). La amistad con Vincent Van Gogh y su hermano Theo se proyecta en su mente junto a la presencia de su esposa, Mette-Sophie, la -para él- mayor enemiga de su intensa vocación. Para liberarse de las ataduras que lastran su obra, Paul Gauguin habrá de desafiar las convenciones sociales que le atenazan... Y pagar un alto precio por ello. La casa del placer, provocadora, audaz, impactante, es una nueva muestra del talento de Zoé Valdés, quien, tras titulos tan celebrados como La mujer que llora y Te di la vida entera, alcanza con esta novela, ganadora del Premio Jaén 2019, una de sus mayores cotas.
