About the Book

Una conmovedora historia sobre el exilio, el amor y la traición, del Premio Nobel de Literatura 2021

Huyendo de la mítica isla de Zanzíbar, tierra de mercaderes de perfumes y especias acunada por los monzones, Saleh Omar, un comerciante de 65 años, llega al aeropuerto de Gatwick con una caja de caoba llena de incienso y un pasaporte falso. Para comunicarse con él, los servicios sociales recurren a Latif Mahmud, un poeta experto en suajili, profesor y exiliado voluntario que vive apaciblemente en un apartamento de Londres. Cuando los dos hombres se encuentran en una pequeña ciudad junto al mar, una larga historia de amores y traiciones, seducciones y decepción, azarosos desplazamientos y litigios iniciada mucho tiempo atrás empieza a desenmarañarse.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

On a late November afternoon Saleh Omar arrives at Gatwick Airport from Zanzibar, a far away island in the Indian Ocean. With him he has a small bag in which there lies his most precious possession - a mahogany box containing incense. He used to own a furniture shop, have a house and be a husband and father, but now he is an asylum seeker from paradise; silence his only protection.

Meanwhile, Latif Mahmud, someone intimately connected with Saleh's past, lives quietly alone in his London flat. When Saleh and Latif meet in an English seaside town, a story is unravelled. It is a story of love, betrayal, of seduction and of possession, and of a people desperately trying to find stability amidst the maelstrom of their times.
About the Author: Abdulrazak Gurnah (Zanzíbar, 1948) es un escritor de origen tanzano afincado en Inglaterra desde hace más de medio siglo. Doctorado en 1982 por la Universidad de Kent, ejerció la docencia en las universidades Bayero (Kano, Nigeria) y Kent, donde impartió literatura inglesa y poscolonial hasta su jubilación de 2017. Es miembro de la Royal Society of Literature desde 2006 y autor de numerosos cuentos, ensayos y una decena de novelas, entre las que destacan Paraíso (1994), nominada para los premios Booker y Whitbread, A orillas del mar (2001), Desertion (2005) y Afterlives (2020). Considerado uno de los escritores poscoloniales más relevantes, ha sido galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 2021 por su «conmovedora descripción de los efectos del colonialismo y la historia de los refugiados en el abismo entre culturas y continentes».
