Book Overview

El nuevo libro de la autora ganadora del Grand Prix Madame Figaro y finalista del LiBeraturpreis: el ltimo fen meno de la literatura en espa ol, traducida a treinta idiomas y comparada con Borges y Coetzee por la cr tica internacional

«Sencillamente, magistral . -Fernando Aramburu

«Sainz Borgo habla sacando las palabras de las v sceras m s secretas . -Antonio Lucas, El Mundo

«Schubert: una criatura pintada en leo sobre cobre, un hombre que despierta la sed en quienes lo miran, un personaje de cuyo pecho parte el kil metro cero de una isla que la int rprete se propuso contar, aunque del intento quedara, apenas, este pu ado de sal. Bienvenidos a la isla del doctor Schubert .

En este relato de imaginaci n desbordante y gran belleza, Karina Sainz Borgo mezcla la realidad con lo fant stico y el mito para levantar, con una prosa cuidad sima y muy po tica, un mundo nuevo centrado en una isla imaginaria donde habita el doctor Schubert, medio m dico y medio aventurero. Esta historia, a la que acompa an las sugerentes ilustraciones de Nat lia P mies, conecta con los grandes libros de aventuras y fantas a de todos los tiempos, de la Odisea, de Homero, a La isla del doctor Moreau (a la que homenajea en el t tulo), de H. G. Wells; La isla del tesoro, de Stevenson, o los relatos m s celebrados de Jack London y Emilio Salgari.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new book by the Grand Prix Madame Figaro winner and finalist in the LiBeraturpreis, the latest phenomenon in Spanish literature, translated into thirty languages, and compared to Borges and Coetzee by the international critic.

"Simply superb." --Fernando Aramburu

"Sainz Borgo speaks pulling out words from her most secret insides." --Antonio Lucas, El Mundo

"Schubert: a creature painted with oil on copper, a man that awakens the thirst in those who look upon him, a character whose chest marks mile zero of an island where this interpreter set out to count--even if it was but an attempt--barely this handful of salt. Welcome to Doctor Schubert's island."

In this tale of great beauty and overflowing imagination, Karina Sainz Borgo combines reality with fantasy and myth to raise, through a carefully crafted and very poetic prose, a new world centered in an imaginary island where Doctor Schubert, half doctor, half explorer, inhabits. This story, accompanied by Nat lia P mies's enticing illustrations, connects with the greatest adventure and fantasy books of all times, namely Homer's Odyssey, H. G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau (to which the title pays homage), Treasure Island, by Stevenson, or Jack London's and Emilio Salgari's most celebrated stories.
