Vikram Seth es un narrador que profundiza en las vidas y relaciones humanas a través de culturas y continentes. Su obra se caracteriza por una franqueza inusual, donde las narrativas personales se entrelazan con telones de fondo sociales e históricos más amplios. A Seth le gusta explorar temas de identidad, familia y la búsqueda del propio lugar en el mundo, empleando un estilo que es a la vez cautivador e introspectivo. Su producción literaria a menudo refleja sus propias experiencias y sentimientos vividos, ofreciendo a los lectores una visión íntima de su mundo interior.
Esta historia combina prosa y poesía para narrar la vida de Arion, un joven músico en la corte de Periandro en la antigua Grecia. Tras ser arrojado al mar después de un concurso musical, es salvado y se hace amigo de un delfín, en una adaptación de una aventura popular.

For the first time, the complete collected poems from the author of A SUITABLE BOY, 'The best writer of his generation' (THE TIMES)
Ten witty and enchanting animal fables in verse - in a beautifully illustrated new format
The three Chinese poets translated here are among the greatest literary figures of China, or indeed the world. Wang Wei with his quiet love of nature and Buddhist philosophy; Li Bai, the Taoist spirit, with his wild, flamboyant paeans to wine and the moon; and Du Fu, with his Confucian sense of sympathy with the suffering of others in a time of civil war and collapse. These three poets of a single generation, responding differently to their common times, crystallise the immense variety of China and the Chinese poetic tradition and, across a distance of twelve hundred years, move the reader as it is rare for even poetry to do.
Ten witty and enchanting animal fables in verse which, like a modern Aesop's Fables, can be enjoyed by young and old alike
`The perfect travel book' New Statesman Hitch-hiking, walking, slogging through rivers and across leech-ridden hills, Vikram Seth travelled through Sinkiang and Tibet to Nepal: from Heaven Lake to the Himalayas. By breaking away from the reliable routes of organised travel, he transformed his journey into an unusual and intriguing exploration of one of the world's least known areas. 'Vikram Seth is already the best writer of his generation' Daniel Johnson, The Tmes
La couv. indique : "The Rivered Earth contains four libretti written by Vikram Seth to be set to music by Alec Roth - together with an account of the pleasures and pains of working with a composer. They take us all over the world - from Chinese and Indian poetry to the beauty and quietness of the Salisbury house where the poet George Herbert lived and died. Spanning centuries of creativity and humanity, these poems pulse with life, energy and inspired brilliance. They are accompanied by four pieces of calligraphy by the author."
Written in verse, this was Vikram Seth's first novel. Set in the 1980s, in the affluence and sunshine of California's silicon valley, it is the story of twenty-somethings looking for love, pleasure and the meaning of life.
A breathtaking new collection of poetry from Vikram Seth, author of A SUITABLE BOY and 'the best writer of his generation' (THE TIMES)
