Ganador del Premio Estado Crítico de Ensayo 2024
Un viaje apasionante y original a la imaginación como origen y motor del mundo. Por el ganador del Premio Alfaguara de novela, el Biblioteca Breve y el José Donoso. «Un libro que atrapa, nos invita a explorar el mapa genético de nuestras ideas y nos devuelve al mundo más sabios . -Irene Vallejo «Somos máquinas de contar . Con un relato que se tiende desde el big bang hasta hoy, La invención de todas las cosas nos muestra que los seres humanos somos aquello que nos contamos. Las ficciones que garantizan la cooperación entre individuos y grupos dieron vida a las religiones y los mitos; las que tienen que ver con límites de territorios, razas o culturas han provocado o justificado invasiones, guerras y masacres; hay otras que determinan nuestras relaciones personales o cívicas; la magia y la astrología sin duda son ficciones, pero también lo son la ciencia, la filosofía, el arte, la literatura, la música, el teatro, la televisión, las redes sociales... e incluso la política o el amor. Esta es, en definitiva, una historia sobre cómo a diario construimos y reconstruimos la realidad por medio de la imaginación. Nos pasamos la vida entre ficciones, nos dice Volpi, sin apenas darnos cuenta de que nosotros también lo somos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of Premio Estado Crítico de Ensayo 2024 A fascinating and original argument that our imaginations are the leading force in world history. By the winner of the Alfaguara, Biblioteca Breve and José Donoso novel prizes. "A spellbinding book that invites us to explore the DNA of ideas and leaves us all the wiser for it." -Irene Vallejo "We are story machines." From the Big Bang through today, The Invention of All Things makes the case that human beings are the stories we tell ourselves. The fictions that enabled cooperation between groups and individuals gave rise to religion and myth, and ideas about borders, races and cultures have justified invasions, wars and massacres. Still other stories determine our personal or social relationships. Magic and astrology may be fictions, but so are science, philosophy, art, literature, music, theater, television, social media... even politics and love. This is a book about how human beings create and recreate reality through their imaginations. We spend our lives among fictions, Volpi tells us, without realizing that we too are one.Author Biography
