Book Synopsis



"Jon Fosse es uno de los pocos escritores que ha conseguido inventar una nueva forma literaria". - Nordic Council Literary Prize

¿Cómo llegamos a conocernos? ¿Qué significan los otros en nuestras vidas?

Asle, un pintor viudo que vive solo en un fiordo noruego, observa su vida entera con la mirada fija en el flujo del mar. No se trata de la nostalgia de un recuerdo, se trata de una observación meticulosa que busca dónde ha fallado.

Ha sufrido la adicción, la incomprensión de una sociedad cerrada y su propia oscuridad como artista, pero es el amor hacia Ales lo que le obliga a ir más allá del mundo más cercano.

Septología es una apasionante novela sobre el sentido de la existencia escrita con una voz hipnótica y única. Un libro que pasará a la historia por su representación de la consciencia.

"Tengo que ir hasta los límites de mi mente y cruzarlos. Cruzar los límites da mucho miedo cuando sientes que eres muy frágil".
Jon Fosse, The New Yorker.

"Para mí no hay duda de que existe una estrecha conexión entre el pensamiento del maestro Eckhart, mi principal influencia católica, y las formas de pensar budistas".
Jon Fosse, La Marea.

"En esta gran obra, que será un clásico, Jon Fosse va más allá de la memoria y el flujo de consciencia. Con un narrador nuevo, es capaz de representar el momento de la consciencia, cuando el ser humano observa el mundo exterior y su relación con él".
Silvia Bardelás, editora de Septología.

Esta edición recopila los tres volúmenes que componen Septología, la gran obra de Jon Fosse: El otro nombre, Yo es otro y Un nuevo nombre.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life
and not another?

Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the
southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only
friends are his neighbour, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer,
and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin,
lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by
alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgängers--two versions of the
same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with
existential questions about death, love, light and shadow, faith
and hopelessness.

The three volumes of Jon Fosse's Septología -- El otro nombre,
Yo es otro and Un nuevo nombre -- are a transcendent
exploration of the human condition, and a radical reading
experience--incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.
