Premio Albert Camus 2022 «Una prospección en lo más profundo de los limbos del alma. El dolor despierta ante lo irrevocable. Un viaje vital inmenso, indispensable . --Xavier Houssin, Le Monde Ignacio y Yuri buscan a tientas una verdad que justifique su existencia en un verano abrasador en el que ParÃs parece haberse vaciado. Yuri opera bajo la atenta mirada de Joana, la joven enfermera que Ignacio desea. Uno de ellos se deja arrastrar por la pasión mientras el otro se rinde a los pies del alcohol y la locura. Ambos instarán a Joana a huir, a iniciar un viaje que la llevará a Venezuela: remontar el Orinoco significará para ella la oportunidad de recomponer, desde las tibias entrañas de un barco de carga, sus deshilachadas vidas. Al hilo de ese viaje hacia el Amazonas, la segunda novela de Mathias Enard, además de confirmar su talento literario, nos sitúa en el centro de un triángulo amoroso que se desborda, cuyos vértices son el nacimiento, el cuerpo y el deseo... siendo quizá esas tres cosas meros reflejos en las aguas empantanadas de un rÃo mÃtico. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the Premi Mediterrani Albert Camus 2022
An exploration of the farthest reaches of the soul and the pain of the irrevocable. An immense and vital journey. - Xavier Houssin, Le Monde
Ignacio and Yuri search vainly for truth to justify their existence in the empty streets of a Paris heatwave. Yuri's actions are keenly observed by Joana, a young nurse and the object of Ignacio's desire. One of the friends is ruled by passion; the other, by alcohol and insanity. Together, they persuade Joana to flee the hot city and join them on a journey that will take them to Venezuela. To her, the trip up the Orinoco in a cargo ship is an opportunity to remake their fractured lives. Mathias Enard confirms his literary talent in this second novel, the story of a love triangle whose vertices are birth, the body and desire...which amount to little more than reflections in the muddy waters of a mythic river.
