«Una epopeya georgiana fulminante (Kultur) por la autora de La octava vida (para Brilka), ganadora de los premios Anna Seghers, Literaturpreis «Text & Sprache y Bertolt Brecht, con m?s de un mill?n de lectores y traducida a veintiocho idiomas El siglo xx llega a su fin y en la Georgia sovi?tica los gritos de autodeterminaci?n se oyen cada vez m?s alto. El destino de cuatro ni?as radicalmente diferentes se ve unido por el patio que separa sus casas en un barrio de Tbilisi. Juntas, Dina, Nene, Ira y Keto, la narradora, navegan el final de la infancia y el comienzo de la vida adulta, experimentan su primer gran amor y se enfrentan a la violencia y la precariedad que estallan con la independencia del pa?s y la llegada de una turbulenta democracia que acabar? por abrir una brecha ineludible entre sus familias. Con ecos de Elena Ferrante, La luz perdida es una epopeya de amistad y traici?n en el contexto de un pa?s que empieza a dar sus primeros pasos, una revoluci?n que arrasa con la juventud y una constante lucha contra un futuro de separaci?n y dolor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "TOLSTOY'S SUCCESSOR" --Neue Z?rcher Zeitung "A devastating Georgian saga" (Kultur) by the author of The Eighth Life (for Brilka), winner of the Anna Seghers, Literaturpreis "Text & Sprache," and Bertolt Brecht awards, with over a million readers, and translated into twenty-eight languages. The twentieth century comes to an end, and in Soviet Georgia, the screams of self-proclamation are heard louder and louder. The destinies of four fundamentally different little girls are linked by the courtyard separating their houses in a neighborhood in Tbilisi. Together, Dina, Nene, Ira, and Keto--the narrator--navigate the end of childhood and the beginning of adult life. They experience their first loves; they witness the breakouts of violence and scarcity that come with the country's independence, as well as the arrival of a turbulent democracy that will end up carving an unbridgeable gap between their families. With an echo of Elena Ferrante, The Lost Light is an epic tale of friendship and betrayal in the context of a country taking its first steps, a revolution that wipes out youth, and an ongoing struggle against a future of pain and separation.
