Gao Xingjian Libros

Este destacado escritor chino es el primero que obtiene el Premio Nobel de Literatura, en su país. Sólo entonces se comienza a reconocer allí su enorme talento artístico. Sus influencias apuntan en lo formal a Europa, aunque no falta la referencia a la tradición asiática cuando quiere hablar de la época que le tocó vivir. Ésta es su obra más conocida. Fue escrita entre los años 1982 y 1989. Relata la peregrinación de un etnólogo en la China Septentrional durante la Revolución, en busca de culturas originarias. La novela recuerda la idea grandiosa del romanticismo alemán en la poesía. El autor utiliza técnicas narrativas muy distintas de la ocupadas por otros creadores chinos pero, eso sí, consigue darle a todo el ambiente contado, un toque único, personal, y al mismo tiempo universal.

La literatura es para Gao la voz de un individuo, la expresión de su sentimiento de existir, el resultado de una visión personal del mundo. El autor no pretende explicar el mundo: sencillamente, halla la libertad en la escritura. Entre los textos del presente libro se encuentran La huida –obra de teatro que provocó el rechazo del Partido Comunista chino– y tres ensayos sobre sus concepciones dramáticas, que combinan elementos del teatro tradicional chino e influencias de la dramaturgia occidental moderna (Artaud, Brecht y Beckett).La presente edición consta de textos que fueron escritos en chino y que hasta hoy sólo han sido traducidos al español. Presentamos, pues, una primicia en Occidente.

The essays, translated by Mabel Lee, include both previously published and recent works, delving into the political dynamics of modernity in Western literature and its reception in China since the 1980s.

The study of the interplay between the individual self and collective selves is an arena of rich theory and research in social psychology. Self and Social Identity is a collection of readings from the four-volume set of Blackwell Handbooks of Social Psychology that examine how group memberships shape the content of the individual's self concept and how the sense of self is expanded as a consequence of identification with other individuals and the group as a whole.

When Gao Xingjian won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2000, he became the only Chinese writer to achieve such international acclaim. The Chinese University Press is the first publisher of his work in the English language. Indeed, The Other Shore is one of the few works by the author available in English today. The Other Shore: Plays by Gao Xingjian contains five of Gao's most recent works: The Other Shore (1986), Between Life and Death (1991), Dialogue and Rebuttal (1992), Nocturnal Wanderer (1993), and Weekend Quartet (1995). With original imagery and in beautiful language, these plays illuminate the realities of life, death, sex, loneliness, and exile. The plays also show the dramatist's idea of the tripartite actor, a process by which the actor neutralizes himself and achieves a disinterested observation of his self in performance. An introduction by the translator describes the dramatist and his view on drama.

Renowned for its precision and subtlety, this work showcases Gao's exceptional storytelling abilities. The narrative intricately weaves together rich details and nuanced themes, reflecting a depth that resonates with readers. Praised as his finest piece available in English, it promises to engage and provoke thought, highlighting the author's unique voice and literary prowess.

From Gao Xingjian, a winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Literature, comes a "major drama about life.Snow in August blends Eastern and Western cultures. In form, there are elements of Shakespearean and Greek tragedy, but in spirit, it embodies a uniquely Eastern sensibility."―Gao XingjianSnow in August is based on the life of Huineng (AD 633-713), the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in Tang Dynasty China. Packed with the myriad sights and sounds of both the Eastern and Western theatrical traditions, the play exudes wonder and mysticism. The many koan cases and the story of Huineng's enlightenment afford the audience fascinating vignettes of Gao's vision of life and existence ¢w an awareness of the Void and the need for a personal peace with oneself.

The visual elements highlight the depth of his artistic vision and personal expression, making it a valuable resource for art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
