PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2023
Una obra maestra de Jon Fosse y una de sus novelas más queridas. Una conmovedora meditación sobre la familia, el matrimonio, la pérdida y el destino.
«La obrade Fosse es un enigma que da vida y esperanza a quien la lee. Ilumina el alma humana como solo lo hacen los elegidos». Manuel Vilas
Sola en su vieja casa de la costa noruega, Signe mira por la ventana y se ve a sí misma veinte años atrás, sentada ante la misma ventana, mientras espera el regreso de su marido, Asle, durante una terrible tarde de finales de noviembre en la que él se subió a su bote de remos para no regresar. En una suerte de caleidoscopio, las imágenes de aquel trágico día se superponen a visiones del pasado y su vida en común, pero también con recuerdos que abarcan cinco generaciones de un clan familiar y su lucha constante contra la inclemente naturaleza que les rodea, hasta llegar a Ales, la tatarabuela de Asle.
En la prosa vívida y alucinatoria de Jon Fosse, todos esos momentos habitan el mismo espacio, y los fantasmas del pasado colisionan con los vivos. Ales junto a la hoguera es una visionaria obra maestra, una inquietante exploración del amor y de la pérdida que se encuentra entre las más bellas meditaciones sobre el matrimonio y el destino humano.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the 2023 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, a haunting masterpiece exploring love, loss, and human fate.
In her old house by the fjord, Signe lies on a bench and sees a vision of herself as she was more than twenty years earlier: standing by the window waiting for her husband Asle, on that terrible late November day when he took his rowboat out onto the water and never returned. Her memories widen out to include their whole life together, and beyond: the bonds of family and the battles with implacable nature stretching back over five generations, to Asle's great-great-grandmother Aliss. In Jon Fosse's vivid, hallucinatory prose, all these moments in time inhabit the same space, and the ghosts of the past collide with those who still live on.
Aliss at the Fire
is a visionary masterpiece, a haunting exploration of love and loss that ranks among the greatest meditations on marriage and human fate.
