«LA SUCESORA DE TOLSTÓI».
Neue Zürcher Zeitung
«Una epopeya georgiana fulminante» (
Kultur
) por la autora de
La octava vida (para Brilka)
, ganadora de los premios Anna Seghers, Literaturpreis «Text & Sprache» y Bertolt Brecht, con más de un millón de lectores y traducida a veintiocho idiomas
El siglo xx llega a su fin y en la Georgia soviética los gritos de autodeterminación se oyen cada vez más alto. El destino de cuatro niñas radicalmente diferentes se ve unido por el patio que separa sus casas en un barrio de Tbilisi. Juntas, Dina, Nene, Ira y Keto, la narradora, navegan el final de la infancia y el comienzo de la vida adulta, experimentan su primer gran amor y se enfrentan a la violencia y la precariedad que estallan con la independencia del país y la llegada de una turbulenta democracia que acabará por abrir una brecha ineludible entre sus familias.
Con ecos de Elena Ferrante, La luz perdida es una epopeya de amistad y traición en el contexto de un país que empieza a dar sus primeros pasos, una revolución que arrasa con la juventud y una constante lucha contra un futuro de separación y dolor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“TOLSTOY’S SUCCESSOR” —Neue Zürcher Zeitung
“A devastating Georgian saga” (
) by the author of
The Eighth Life (for Brilka)
, winner of the Anna Seghers, Literaturpreis “Text & Sprache,” and Bertolt Brecht awards, with over a million readers, and translated into twenty-eight languages.
The twentieth century comes to an end, and in Soviet Georgia, the screams of self-proclamation are heard louder and louder. The destinies of four fundamentally different little girls are linked by the courtyard separating their houses in a neighborhood in Tbilisi. Together, Dina, Nene, Ira, and Keto—the narrator—navigate the end of childhood and the beginning of adult life. They experience their first loves; they witness the breakouts of violence and scarcity that come with the country’s independence, as well as the arrival of a turbulent democracy that will end up carving an unbridgeable gap between their families. With an echo of Elena Ferrante,
The Lost Light
is an epic tale of friendship and betrayal in the context of a country taking its first steps, a revolution that wipes out youth, and an ongoing struggle against a future of pain and separation.
