Literatura en la que las consecuencias de una relación amorosa prohibida resuenan desde el Imperio británico hasta la independencia africana

Una mañana de 1899, Martin Pearce, un escritor, viajero y orientalista inglés, exhausto después de escapar de una banda de ladrones, llega a una pequeña ciudad costera de África Oriental. Allí, en esa población en ruinas al borde de la vida civilizada, se enamora de Rehana, y comienza una apasionada historia de amor que unirá dos culturas y que reverberará a lo largo de tres generaciones y a través de los continentes, desde el África colonial hasta el Londres de los años sesenta.

Una novela sobre las consecuencias del pasado, el poder combativo del amor y la fuerza salvadora de la literatura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A masterwork by the 2021 Nobel Prize winner in Literature, in which the consequences of an illicit love affair reverberate from the heyday of the British empire to the aftermath of African independence.

Early one morning in 1899, an Englishman named Martin Pearce stumbles out of the desert into an East African coastal town and collapses at the feet of Hassanali, a local shopkeeper. When Hassanali's sister, the beautiful and disillusioned Rehana, nurses Pearce back to health, a love affair sparks, with consequences that will ripple decades into the future, when another clandestine affair bursts into flame, with equally unforeseen and dramatic consequences. In this devastating and ingeniously spun tale, the Nobelist Abdulrazak Gurnah brilliantly dramatizes the personal and political legacies of colonialism.
