Tres relatos del Premio Nobel Sudafricano J.M. Coetzee que representan la esencia de su pensamiento.

Por primera vez se publican juntos en una edición especial estos tres relatos del Premio Nobel J.M. Coetzee.

En Una casa en España (2000), un hombre solitario compra un caserón centenario en el apacible pueblo de Bellpuig, en Cataluña, y enseguida se establece «una forma de matrimonio entre un hombre que está envejeciendo y una casa que ya dejó de ser joven .

En Nietverloren (2002) visitamos una antigua granja en las cercanías de Cape Cod, «un edén perdido de Sudáfrica y un reflejo de cómo el turismo se ha ido apoderando de sus paisajes. El hijo de los propietarios recuerda la historia del lugar, un emplazamiento mágico de su infancia que los nuevos tiempos han transformado en otro parque temático para extranjeros.

Él y su hombre, el tercer relato, fue el discurso que Coetzee pronunció durante la ceremonia de entrega del Nobel de literatura en 2003. El autor imagina la vida de Robinson Crusoe a su regreso a Inglaterra y en como sigue los viajes que su compañero Viernes ha emprendido por el país a través de sus cartas.

Tres cuentos es el trabajo de un maestro de la literatura en la cima de su carrera y un claro ejemplo de la esencia de nuestra existencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Three stories by South African Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee that capture the essence of his thought.

For the first time, these three stories by Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee are published together in a special edition.

Three Stories--'His Man and He', written as Coetzee's acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize for Literature, 'A House in Spain' and 'Nietverloren'--is the work of a master at his peak. These are stories that embody the essence of our existence.

In A House in Spain (2000), a solitary man buys a century-old mansion in the peaceful village of Bellpuig, in Catalonia, and soon a kind of marriage develops between a man who is growing old and a house that is no longer young.

In Nietverloren (2002), we visit an old farm near Cape Cod, a lost Eden in South Africa and a reflection of how tourism has gradually taken over its landscapes. The owners' son recalls the place's history, a magical site from his childhood that modern times have transformed into yet another theme park for foreigners.

His Man and He, the third story, was the speech Coetzee delivered during the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature award ceremony. The author imagines Robinson Crusoe's life upon his return to England and how he follows the journeys his companion Friday has undertaken across the country through his letters.

Three Stories is the work of a literary master at the height of his career and a clear example of the essence of our existence.
