Description
The Blue Triangle
Book Summary
A work that explores the complexity of human passions through the metaphor of the triangle, where love, hatred, envy, and creativity intertwine relentlessly. Jordi Cervera weaves a story of furious loves that defy time and space, a death that returns cyclically, and a woman transformed into an artistic myth. Set in a city that is both a stage and a character, the novel plunges the reader into a whirlwind of emotions where beauty, deceit, and madness merge to explore the tenacity of memory and the human will to hold on to an idea beyond any physical or temporal border.
What is it about?
The narrative is built upon emotional triangles that complement, overlap, and collide with one another: triangles of hatred, delirious love, envy, and creativity. The story revolves around the figure of a woman who, upon being turned into a painting, becomes an indelible myth, an anchor for passions that know no limits. The plot advances, driven by the tension between the desire to forget and the certainty that the past always returns, defying the dictatorship of the calendar. The omnipresent city becomes a reflection of this emotional chaos, a space where art, poetry, sex, and madness converge, showing the fragility of the borders that separate reality from desire.
Main themes
- The duality of human passions: love and hatred, envy and creativity, as complementary and indissoluble forces.
- Art as myth and prison: the transformation of a woman into a work of art and her perpetuation as an unattainable obsession.
- Memory as a sentence: the inability to forget and the persistence of the past over the present, beyond physical and temporal distance.
- The city as a symbolic space: a territory that reflects and amplifies the characters' emotional and existential tensions.
- The fragility of borders: between love and madness, reality and fiction, life and death.

Editorial review
A novel that stands out for its ability to merge narrative passion with a symbolic exploration of emotions. Jordi Cervera constructs a dense and suggestive work, where each emotional triangle adds a layer of complexity to a story that resists being forgotten. Its poetic language and non-linear structure may pose a challenge, but also a reward for the reader who seeks an intense and reflective literary experience. Recommended for those who value narrative that transcends plot to enter the territory of myth and obsession.
