«Una hora de fervor» is the novel by Muriel Barbery, published by Booket in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Haru, an art dealer from Kyoto, sees his life change after a brief affair with a French woman passing through the city: later he receives the order never to approach the daughter born of that relationship. The novel interweaves that intimate drama with a portrait of Japan and the bonds of friendship that sustain its protagonist, presented as a chosen family that celebrates his triumphs with him and helps him recover in the face of defeat.
The work belongs to the series The Uenos, of which it is the second installment, and was originally published in French as Une heure de ferveur. This Spanish edition, translated by Isabel González-Gallarza, was released on November 20, 2024.
Recommended for readers of contemporary literary fiction and for those who enjoy stories set in Japan or the narrative of Muriel Barbery.
