Randolph Stow Libros
Randolph Stow fue un narrador con una sensibilidad extraordinaria por el paisaje y su influencia en la psique humana. Sus obras exploran con frecuencia el choque de culturas, la nostalgia por las tierras de origen perdidas y el peso de la historia. Stow entrelazó magistralmente elementos de mito y realidad, creando una atmósfera que arrastraba a los lectores a las profundidades del alma humana y de tierras lejanas. Su estilo distintivo, moldeado tanto por el interior de Australia como por el campo inglés, dejó una marca indeleble en la literatura moderna.

Tourmaline

There is no stretch of land on earth more ancient than this. And so it is blunt and red and barren, littered with the fragments of broken mountains, flat, waterless. Tourmaline, in outback Western Australia, is dying: its mines lie abandoned and drought has taken hold. When the enigmatic diviner Michael Random emerges from the desert, desperate townspeople see him as a messiah. Random begins to spread the word of God—and to promise them water, that most precious resource. Both a complex spiritual parable and an enduring apocalyptic vision, Tourmaline is Randolph Stow’s most controversial novel.
