Jon Fosse Libros

"Fosse ha sido comparado con Ibsen ó Beckett. Es fácil ver en su obra la austeridad con la que Ibsen trata las emociones más esenciales, pero va más allá, porque su voz tiene una feroz simplicidad poética" - The New York Times Con una voz nueva, con una prosa sencilla, Jon Fosse sobrecoge. Trilogía es un libro hipnótico. Para Jon Fosse escribir es como rezar, y para el lector leer Trilogía significa entrar en una profundidad desconocida. Con un narrador único, Fosse nos cuenta la historia de una pareja de adolescentes que va a tener un hijo y que intenta sobrevivir sin nada en un mundo hostil. Con esta historia entendemos qué significa la indefensión y nos hacemos conscientes de la mirada despiadada de la sociedad, pero también revivimos de forma exquisita el primer amor, la experiencia de empezar la vida. Es una obra emocional que, desde la oscuridad de una situación extrema, nos ilumina. Es fascinante esta experiencia de entrar en un lugar nuevo, en un universo nuevo cada vez que logro escribir bien. Y siempre pienso que estoy preparado y que algún día no podré escribir más y eso está bien. Jon Fosse, The New Yorker. Jon Fosse es uno de los grandes escritores europeos. Karl Ove Knausgaard. Para mí escribir es escuchar, es un acto más musical que intelectual. En un texto la forma debe ser extremadamente exacta, cada coma, cada cambio está medido para que al leer puedas sentir las olas, un latido, y el cambio de ritmo según avanza la trama. Esta unidad entre forma y contenido es necesaria. Con la escritura ocurre igual que con un ser humano: no se puede separar el alma del cuerpo, un cadáver no es una persona. Jon Fosse, El País.

Nace un niño que se llamará Johannes. Muere un anciano llamado Johannes. Entre estos dos puntos, Jon Fosse nos da los detalles de toda una vida, crudamente comprimidos. Comenzando con los pensamientos del padre de Johannes cuando su esposa se pone de parto, y terminando con los propios pensamientos de Johannes cuando se embarca en un día de su vida en el que todo es exactamente igual, pero totalmente diferente, Mañana y tarde es una obra sobre el hermoso sueño de que nuestras vidas tienen sentido. Los momentos a lo largo de la novela son simples, cotidianos, pero la prosa rítmica, tortuosa y recortada de Fosse guía hábilmente a los lectores a través del pasado y el presente

WINNER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2022 International Booker Prize, Finalist 2022 National Book Award, Finalist 2022 National Book Critics Circle Award, Finalist New York Times Editors' Choice Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker and Bookforum What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbour, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgängers--two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions about death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness. The three volumes of Jon Fosse's Septology--The Other Name, I is Another, and A New Name--collected in for the first time in this limited hardcover edition, are a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience--incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.

Follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an aging painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life.

There in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers--two versons of the same person, two versions of the same life.

A haunting exploration of love and loss by the Beckett of the twenty-first century (Le Monde).

"Mother and Child is the intense journey of two individuals trying to connect. Like strangers on a first date, mother and son stalk each other, confronted with a shared history they cannot ignore. In Sleep my Baby Sleep, three people are in a strange unnamed place: through visual and linguistic association they try to decipher their predicament. In Afternoon, characters come and go in a flat that is for sale: they will never understand each other; someone will always see one thing, while others will insist on something else. In Beautiful, the past disrupts the present when a man and his family go back to his childhood valley. Conflicts simmer when husband and wife punish each other by courting his best friend, while his daughter meets a local boy. Death Variations explores different aspects of the theme of death: death of love, death of relationship, death of happiness, and finally the death of a young person. As the characters in Fosse's plays search for meaning or even just familiarity in their ruptured lives, their struggles find an echo in the rhythms and repetitions of their speech."--BOOK JACKET
