by J. M. G. Le Clézio (Author)

El Premio Nobel de Literatura Le Clézio regresa con un libro «de una belleza inaudita (La Grande Librairie): «un magnífico himno a la humanidad . Télérama

«Si hay un escritor que, como decía Borges de Shakespeare, podría ser todos los hombres, es sin duda Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio .
Andrés Seoane, El Cultural

«Para mí --escribe Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio--, la escritura es ante todo un medio de acción, una manera de propagar ideas. La suerte que reservo a mis personajes no es envidiable, porque son unos indeseables, y mi objetivo es el de que nazca en el lector un sentimiento de revuelta contra la injusticia de lo que les sucede . Esto es justo lo que consigue el el premio Nobel de Literatura, en estas ocho historias protagonizadas por unos jóvenes sedientos de aventuras, alegría y poesía que tratan de encontrar su identidad en una sociedad que no los acepta y que los condena al olvido.

En el relato que inaugura la colección, «Anverso , Maureez Samson, una joven de Rodrigues (Mauricio), deberá afrontar el duelo tras la desaparición de su padre en el mar; la violencia, cuando su padrastro intenta violarla, y la realidad del convento en el que decide refugiarse, hasta que su don para la música le permita encontrar una razón para vivir. En «Camino de luz , una adolescente embarazada y un chico discapacitado huyen de un campo de niños esclavos creado por los «revolucionarios marxistas de Perú. «La pichancha narra las andanzas de unos chavales de la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos que atraviesan las alcantarillas para visitar el paraíso prohibido. En el cuento que da título a este libro, un joven inmigrante no vive más que por el amor a su familia, que se ha quedado al otro lado del mar, en Tata. Sobrevivirán estos inolvidables héroes en un mundo de duras leyes y acerada modernidad?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Le Clézio, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is back with a book "of unprecedented beauty" (La Grande Librairie): "a magnificent hymn to humanity." Télérama

"For me," writes Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, "writing is more than anything a means of action, a way of propagating ideas. The fate I reserve for my characters isn't enviable, because they are undesirables, and my goal is to awaken in the reader a sense of rebellion against the injustice of what happens to them." This is precisely what the Nobel Prize-winning Le Clézio achieves in these eight stories. Their young protagonists are thirsty for adventure, happiness and poetry, seeking their identities in an unaccepting society that dooms them to be forgotten.

In the first story of this collection, "Anverso" (Obverse), Maureez Samson, a young woman from Rodrigues (Mauritius), is in mourning following her father's disappearance at sea, an attempted rape by her stepfather, and the reality of the convent where she seeks shelter, until her musical talent gives her a reason to live. In "Camino de luz" (Path of Light), a pregnant teenager and a disabled boy flee a Marxist "revolutionary" camp of enslaved children in Peru. "La pichancha" (The Sewer) follows the journey of a group of young people on the US-Mexican border who use the sewer system to cross into the forbidden paradise of the north. In the title story, a young immigrant pines for the love of his family, whom he left behind in Tata, far across the ocean. Will these unforgettable characters survive a world of harsh laws and steely modernity?

Author Biography

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio nació en 1940 en Niza. Es uno de los novelistas más celebrados y leídos de Francia, ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 2008. Originario de una familia de Bretaña emigrada a la isla Mauricio en el siglo XVII, Le Clézio realizó sus estudios en Niza y se doctoró en letras por el Collège Littéraire Universitaire. Ya consagrado con su primera novela, El atestado (1963), galardonada con el Premio Renaudot, pero incómodo en la vida cultural parisiense y ajeno a las modas literarias, Le Clézio llevó una existencia nómada entre África del Norte, Asia y América hasta recalar, en 1970, en México. Allí fijó su residencia hasta 1992, año en que se trasladó a Albuquerque, Nuevo México, donde hasta hoy trabaja como profesor de literatura francesa.

Es autor de más de treinta novelas y libros de relatos, entre los que destacan El diluvio (1966), La guerra (1970), Mondo y otras historias (1978), Desierto (1980), ganadora del Gran Premio Paul Morand de Literatura de la Academia Francesa, El buscador de oro (1985), Viaje a Rodrigues (1986), Printemps et autres saisons (1989), Onitsha (1991), Étoile errante (1992), Pawana (1992), La cuarentena (1995), El pez dorado (1997), La música del hambre (2008), Bitna bajo el cielo de Seúl (Lumen, 2019), y Canción de infancia (Lumen, 2021). El amor en Francia (2023), de próxima publicación en Lumen, es su último libro.
