"1950's Paris. After a homosexual experience in adolescence, David represses the impulses he finds unacceptable. In Paris he has an affair with Hella Lincoln, and proposes marriage. She considers his proposal on a trip to Spain; David has an affair lasting several months with Giovanni, an Italian bartender. Still unable to reconcile homosexuality with the life he envisions for himself, David travels with Hella, but is discovered by her in a gay bar with a sailor as he struggles to accept himself." -- Provided by publisher. -- Some descriptions of sex. Spanish language.

"David es uno de los muchos estadounidenses que pululan por el París bohemio de los años cincuenta, adonde se ha mudado para «encontrarse a sí mismo». Una noche, mientras aguarda el regreso a la ciudad de su novia, a quien acaba de proponer matrimonio, David conoce a Giovanni, un barman italiano, luminoso, insolente y seductor, por el que siente una irremediable atracción. Los dos hombres se entregan a una relación apasionada y clandestina, confinada al cuarto de Giovanni, mientras el inminente regreso de Hella se convierte en un nubarrón que se cierne sobre los amantes. Finalmente, una postal anuncia lo inevitable: la joven regresa a París, y su regreso obligará a David a elegir entre la normalidad de una vida segura con Hella y la incertidumbre de un futuro con Giovanni, todo fuerza, corazón e instinto; una decisión imposible que precipitará una tragedia inimaginable." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Traducido de la edición en inglés de 1956. Contiene algunas descripciones de índole sexual.
