Product Information
Cuatro textos magistrales sobre el poder de la ficción para comprender el mundo que habitamos - «Uno de los escritores más grandes del mundo». - Andrea Bajani, La Repubblica «Un escritor superdotado [...]. Uno de los escritores mayores del mundo hispánico». - Thierry Clermont, Le Figaro «El deber y la tarea de un escritor son los de un traductor», escribe Marcel Proust en El tiempo recobrado. Pero no se trata de traducir un texto: Proust se refiere a traducir la vida. Durante octubre y noviembre de 2022, Juan Gabriel Vásquez fue invitado por la Universidad de Oxford a dictar las conferencias de la prestigiosa cátedra Weidenfeld de Literatura Europea Comparada, en la que antes participaron autores de la talla de Mario Vargas Llosa, George Steiner, Umberto Eco, Javier Cercas y Ali Smith. En esas cuatro ponencias, aquí reunidas, Vásquez se pregunta si hay en la ficción literaria una manera de comprender la vida que no pueda encontrarse en ningún otro espacio. ¿Es la literatura el lugar donde el mundo es traducido, interpretado e iluminado? Acaso la ficción tenga una capacidad única para dilucidar las complejidades de la experiencia humana --el misterio de cada vida, nuestro vínculo con el pasado, la tensa relación que mantenemos con el universo delo político-- y transformar esa interpretación en conocimiento. Estos textos nos piden que redefinamos los usos de la ficción, nuestra comprensión de sus mecanismos y las razones por las cuales, en nuestra época actual, es probablemente más indispensable que nunca. Vásquez demuestra con estas reflexiones su gran estatura intelectual y el dominio de su oficio, que lo llevaron a ser conferenciante y escritor residente en las aulas de Oxford y que lo han hecho merecedor de premios tan importantes como el International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, el Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger y el Premio Real Academia Española, entre otros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Four masterful texts about the power of fiction for understanding the world we live in. "One of the world's greatest writers." - Andrea Bajani, La Repubblica "An extraordinarily gifted writer [...]. One of the leading authors in Hispanic literature." - Thierry Clermont, Le Figaro "The task and the duty of a writer are those of an interpreter," Marcel Proust wrote in In Search of Lost Time . But Proust wasn't referring to texts; rather, he meant interpreting life. In October and November 2022, the British Comparative Literature Association invited Juan Gabriel Vásquez to lead its prestigious Weidenfeld Lecture Series at Oxford University, joining the ranks of such luminaries as Mario Vargas Llosa, George Steiner, Umberto Eco, Javier Cercas and Ali Smith. In the four lectures compiled here, Vásquez asks whether literary fiction offers an understanding of life that can't be found elsewhere. Is literature the place where we translate, interpret and illuminate the world? Fiction may be uniquely able to shed light on the complexities of the human experience - the mystery of each life, our links to the past, our tense relationship with the political universe - and transform that interpretation into knowledge. These lectures ask us to redefine the uses of fiction and how we understand what it does, arguing that, in our present time, it may be more indispensable than ever. In these reflections, Vásquez demonstrates his formidable intellectual stature and command of his profession. He is a resident author and lecturer at Oxford and the winner of such prestigious awards as the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, France's Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger and the Premio Real Academia Española.

Reviews
La crítica ha dicho: «Un magnífico y aterrador estudio sobre cómo el pasado puede invadir el presente, y una fascinante revelación de un rincón poco conocido del teatro de la guerra nazi». -John Banville (sobre Los informantes ) «Un libro vívido, contundente, magistral». -Alberto Manguel, The Guardian (sobre Historia secreta de Costaguana ) «Una novela cautivadora, que atrapa hasta el final. Si bien estamos ante un "vuelapáginas", se trata también de una profunda meditación sobre el destino y la muerte». -Edmund White, The New York Times Book Review (sobre El ruido de las cosas al caer ) «Uno sale de esta novela simplemente aturdido por la gran lección de literatura impartida por el autor». -Étienne de Montety, Le Figaro (sobre Las reputaciones ) «Vásquez ha sucedido a García Márquez como el gran maestro literario de Colombia». -Ariel Dorfman, The New York Review of Books (sobre La forma de las ruinas ) «Una de las grandes novelas que se han escrito en nuestra lengua». -Mario Vargas Llosa, El País (sobre Volver la vista atrás )
