Olga Tokarczuk, la mejor escritora polaca de su generación, cuenta en esta novela una historia épica sobre el paso del tiempo. Desde el estallido de la primera guerra mundial, varias generaciones de campesinos luchan por la felicidad en un lugar llamado Antaño, un pueblo ficticio de Polonia donde realidad y magia se confunden para crear uno de los universos literarios más bellos y sobrecogedores de los últimos tiempos. Los horrores y las ilusiones de felicidad del siglo XX son encarnados aquí por unos personajes inolvidables que transitan entre el sueño y la realidad, el misticismo y el horror.
Una serie de asesinatos en un pueblo al suroeste de Polonia. Janina Duszejko, una ingeniera de caminos retirada que enseña inglés en la escuela rural, intentara resolverlos por su cuenta
Una novela única, ligera y honda a la vez, que indaga en las posibilidades del
género para hablar sobre el cuerpo, el mundo y las estrategias siempre
insuficientes con que intentamos cartografiarlos. Al principio de Los
errantes, la narradora esboza un autorretrato que es también una poética: «A
todas luces yo carecía de ese gen que hace que en cuanto se detiene uno en un
lugar por un tiempo más o menos largo, enseguida eche raíces. (…) Mi energía
es generada por el movimiento: el vaivén de los autobuses, el traqueteo de los
trenes, el rugido de los motores de avión, el balanceo de los ferrys.»
Inquieta como ella, esta novela no se detiene ni un momento: en bus, avión,
tren y ferry, la acompaña a saltos de país en país, de tiempo en tiempo, de
historia en historia.
"'Once upon a time there was a man who worked very hard and very quickly, and who had left his soul far behind him long ago. In fact his life was all right without his soul--he slept, ate, worked, drove a car and even played tennis. But sometimes he felt as if the world around him were flat, as if he were moving across a smooth page in a math book that was covered in evenly spaced squares...' The Lost Soul is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves, to remain patient, attentive to the world. It is a story that beautifully weaves together the voice of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and the finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings of illustrator Joanna Concejo, who together create a parallel narrative universe full of secrets, evocative of another time. Here a man has forgotten what makes his heart feel full. He moves to a house away from all that is familiar to him to wait for his soul to return. The Lost Soul is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old. 'You must find a place of your own, sit there quietly and wait for your soul.'"-- Provided by publisher
The Nobel Prize-winner's richest, most sweeping and ambitious novel yet follows the comet-like rise and fall of a mysterious, messianic religious leader as he blazes his way across eighteenth-century Europe. In the mid-eighteenth century, as new ideas-and a new unrest-begin to sweep the Continent, a young Jew of mysterious origins arrives in a village in Poland. Before long, he has changed not only his name but his persona; visited by what seem to be ecstatic experiences, Jacob Frank casts a charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent following. In the decade to come, Frank will traverse the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires with throngs of disciples in his thrall as he reinvents himself again and again, converts to Islam and then Catholicism, is pilloried as a heretic and revered as the Messiah, and wreaks havoc on the conventional order, Jewish and Christian alike, with scandalous rumors of his sect's secret rituals and the spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs. The story of Frank-a real historical figure around whom mystery and controversy swirl to this day-is the perfect canvas for the genius and unparalleled reach of Olga Tokarczuk. Narrated through the perspectives of his contemporaries-those who revere him, those who revile him, the friend who betrays him, the lone woman who sees him for what he is-The Books of Jacob captures a world on the cusp of precipitous change, searching for certainty and longing for transcendence
Featuring stunning illustrations, this picture book for adults combines the artistic talents of Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk and illustrator Joanna Concejo. It includes two gatefold pages that enhance the visual experience, inviting readers to explore its themes and artistry. Following their previous collaboration, The Lost Soul, this work promises to engage and inspire with its unique blend of narrative and imagery.
Nowa Ruda is a small town in Silesia, an area that has been a part of Poland,
Germany and the former Czechoslovakia in the past. When the narrator of this
novel moves into the area, she discovers everyone - and everything - has its
own story. schovat popis
In The Books of Jacob, Tokarczuk traverses the Hapsburg and Ottoman Empires
and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in search of Jacob Frank, a highly
controversial historical figure from the eighteenth century and the leader of
a mysterious, heretical Jewish splinter group that converted at different
times to both Islam and Catholicism.
Challenging the preconceptions of the hypothetical “small town,” this collection of short stories vividly portrays a variety of imaginative characters. In Germany, a house-husband is slowly sent over the edge by his over-achieving neighbors. In the Norwegian town of Odda, a middle-aged Morrissey fan has a matter of hours to find a girlfriend so his ailing mother can die in peace. On a broad European canvas, these diverse tales paint a tightly knit community in a positive light. Centering on gestures such as white lies, indifference, small kindnesses, and secrets, this intriguing anthology is sure to fascinate and entertain.
