Summary note
"Mediodía en el Tiempo reúne a cuatro personajes que coincidieron en un mismo periodo histórico, el que corresponde al decenio de 1960, cuando eran universitarios, y se extiende hasta principios del siglo XXI. Con ella, José María Guelbenzu cierra una suerte de crónica moral --iniciada en novelas anteriores y tema principal en la escritura del autor-- de la generación a la que le tocó afrontar el radical cambio social ocurrido en los últimos años de vida del Dictador, que encaminaría de manera decisiva la incorporación de España al mundo libre. Además, y ante todo, este relato reúne cuatro historias personales, morales y de resistencia, cada una distinta de la otra, entre amigos de un mismo tiempo y lugar, entreveradas con un ciclo histórico lleno de expectativas y sentimientos, y sostenidas a través de una estructura narrativa transversal en torno a sus amores, deseos, humores y decepciones. Cuatro jóvenes cuyas personalidades se van desenvolviendo a medida que cumplen años, su país progresa y se enfrentan a una realidad cambiante, nueva y vieja a la vez; una realidad que deberán asimilar sobre la marcha y que continuará acompañándolos en los últimos años de sus vidas" -- Back cover.
"Noon in Time brings together four characters who coincided in the same historical period, which corresponds to the 1960s, when they were university students, and extends until the beginning of the 21st century. With it, José María Guelbenzu closes a kind of moral chronicle - begun in previous novels and the main theme in the author's writing - of the generation that had to face the radical social change that occurred in the last years of the dictator's life, which would decisively direct the incorporation of Spain into the free world. Furthermore, and above all, this story brings together four personal, moral and resistance stories, each one different from the other, between friends from the same time and place, intertwined with a historical cycle full of expectations and feelings, and sustained through a transversal narrative structure around their loves, desires, moods and disappointments. Four young people whose personalities develop as they get older, their country progresses and they face a changing reality, new and old at the same time; a reality that they must assimilate as they go and that will continue to accompany them in the last years of their lives -- English translation of back over.
