Hasta que las piedras se vuelvan más ligeras que el agua
Par António Lobo Antunes. 2017
António Lobo Antunes, «el mejor autor vivo de Portugal», regresa a los fantasmas de la guerra de Angola con una…
novela vertiginosa marcada por la violencia de la colonización y el racismo. «António Lobo Antunes ha levantado otra novela-catedral. Sobre la memoria, el sufrimiento,la pérdida, el amor y todas las cosas frágiles, casi indecibles, que se nos escapan o nos faltan».José Mario Silva, ExpressoHasta que las piedras se vuelvan más ligeras que el agua es un libro vertiginoso, violento y, por momentos, duro. Maestro de la prosa introspectiva, António Lobo Antunes teje en esta novela coral un tapiz en el que las emociones fluyen en una danza hipnótica, entre pasado y presente. En las calles empedradas de Lisboa, las voces de múltiples generaciones resuenan en una desgarradora sinfonía. A través de los ojos y los corazones de personajes inolvidables, Lobo Antunes nos guía por las vidas de una familia marcada por la violencia y los secretos, los amores prohibidos y los deseos inconfesables. Hasta que las piedras se vuelvan más ligeras que el agua es una novela que desafía las convenciones literarias, y que invita al lector a explorar la naturaleza de la identidad, de la pérdida y de las relaciones personales. Lobo Antunes edifica otra obra maestra que discurre como un río melancólico, arrastrándonos en su corriente mientras nos sumerge en una experiencia de lectura que perdurará mucho después de haber vuelto la última página. Una novela, en definitiva, donde las palabras se convierten en un espejo de las almas, capturando la esencia misma del ser humano. La crítica ha dicho:«Las escenas de Lobo Antunes están animadas por la poesía de lo cotidiano y teñidas de la autoparodia más fina».J.M. Coetzee «El heredero de Conrad y Faulkner».George Steiner «Lobo Antunes muestra empatía hacialas contradicciones de los sentimientos humanos. Es un escritor de sangre caliente».The New York Times Book Review «Uno de los retratistas psicológicos más hábiles».The New Yorker «Leer la prosa del más grande escritor portugués, que es también uno de los más grandes escritores de su época, es una experiencia rara, inquietante y, al mismo tiempo, cautivadora».Bruno Corty, Le Figaro«Un autor con una facilidad prodigiosa para atrapar obras maestras que dentro de cinco mil años, en arcilla o en polvo de estrellas, continuará siendo leído con pasión».El PaísThe Long Song: Shortlisted for the Booker Prize (Nhb Modern Plays Ser.)
Par Andrea Levy. 2010
Now a major BBC TV drama, starring Tamara Lawrance, Lenny Henry and Hayley Atwell.A Sunday Times bestseller (2011), shortlisted for…
the Man Booker Prize, The Long Song by Andrea Levy is a hauntingly beautiful, heartbreaking and unputdownable novel of the last days of slavery in Jamaica, for those who loved Homegoing, The Underground Railroad, or the film 12 Years a Slave.'A marvel of luminous storytelling' Financial TimesYou do not know me yet. My son Thomas, who is publishing this book, tells me, it is customary at this place in a novel to give the reader a little taste of the story that is held within these pages. As your storyteller, I am to convey that this tale is set in Jamaica during the last turbulent years of slavery and the early years of freedom that followed.July is a slave girl who lives upon a sugar plantation named Amity and it is her life that is the subject of this tale. She was there when the Baptist War raged in 1831, and she was present when slavery was declared no more. My son says I must convey how the story tells also of July's mama Kitty, of the negroes that worked the plantation land, of Caroline Mortimer the white woman who owned the plantation and many more persons besides - far too many for me to list here. But what befalls them all is carefully chronicled upon these pages for you to peruse.Perhaps, my son suggests, I might write that it is a thrilling journey through that time in the company of people who lived it. All this he wishes me to pen so the reader can decide if this is a novel they might care to consider. Cha, I tell my son, what fuss-fuss. Come, let them just read it for themselves.
