Como si de una peculiar crónica sentimental se tratara, Mujeres (1933), primera novela del genial Mihail Sebastian, relata las aventuras protagonizadas ?o presenciadas? por un joven médico en cuatro etapas diferentes de su vida. Historias de conquistas y separaciones, de reencuentros y de partidas, que dejan en el lector el sabor metálico y agreste de las pasiones equivocadas, y la certeza de que el amor es algo voluble, desordenado y agridulce que nada tiene que ver con el destino.Díscolas o sumisas, temperamentales o burguesas, las mujeres que jalonan la vida del joven doctor Stefan Valeriu son, sin duda, inolvidables.

The frustrated wife of a French-Tunisian plantation owner, a mysterious older woman, a world weary tomboy, an unhappy mistress, a Parisian factory worker destined for tragedy, an acrobat turned cabaret sensation – these are the women whose lives are linked by their relationship with one man – Ștefan Valeriu. Divided into four separate stories connected by one man, Women takes us from Ștefan’s amorous entanglements at an Alpine lake resort, to his life in Bucharest and Paris, as each of the women in his life opens up new worlds for him.
