About the Book

Designado Mejor Libro del Año 2008 por el periódico The New York Times, Tierra desacostumbrada es una colección de relatos que deslumbra y conmueve.

Los relatos de Lahiri -que suelen girar en torno a las vivencias de las familias de ascendencia bengalí en Estados Unidos- no se detienen meramente en plasmar la experiencia de la inmigración, sino que retratan con gran fidelidad y sin cortapisas las vivencias y emociones que ocupan y preocupan a un amplio sector de la sociedad moderna.

Son historias acerca de una variada galería de personajes caracterizados con singular delicadeza y simpatía: hermanos y hermanas, padres e hijos, maridos y mujeres, amigos y amantes que se ven obligados a afrontar momentos fundamentales en sus relaciones y navegar como pueden en aguas desconocidas, entre la inocencia y la experiencia, entre los dictados de la remota tradición familiar y la emancipación personal, entre el impulso de reinventarse a sí mismos y definir su identidad en un mundo fragmentado. Así pues, no cabe duda de que estamos ante una verdadera muestra de gran literatura.

Críticas:

«Tierra desacostumbrada contiene muestras de la mejor y más hermosa ficción de la última década.» -New Statesman

«Deslumbrante [...] Sus relatos de exilio, identidad, desilusión y maduración dan prueba de una sobria y sutil maestría.» -Publishers Weekly

«Es difícil pensar en algún otro escritor contemporáneo que sea capaz de dar tanta dignidad a sus personajes.» -The Times

«Espléndido [...] Unos relatos que tienen elegancia y conmueven, y que para haber sido escritos por alguien tan joven denotan un nivel de maestría fuera de lo común.» -The New York Review of Books
«Lahiri consigue captar esa mezcla de inmediatez e intemporalidad de las relaciones humanas, la siempre inadecuada comunicación que vuelve enigmática toda experiencia, y lo hace de forma objetiva y al mismo tiempo profundamente íntima.» -The Telegraph

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH

These eight stories by beloved and bestselling author Jhumpa Lahiri take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand, as they explore the secrets at the heart of family life. Here they enter the worlds of sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, daughters and sons, friends and lovers. Rich with the signature gifts that have established Jhumpa Lahiri as one of our most essential writers, Unaccustomed Earth exquisitely renders the most intricate workings of the heart and mind.
About the Author: Jhumpa Lahiri, nacida en Reino Unido de padres bengalíes, pasó su infancia y juventud en Estados Unidos.

En otras palabras es su primera obra de no ficción. Ha sido galardonada con el Premio Pulitzer, el PEN/Hemingway y el Premio Frank O#Connor. En 2012 ingresó en la Academia Estadounidense de las Artes y las Letras y en 2015 recibió la Medalla Nacional de Humanidades.
