La lengua extranjera / What Remains (Spanish Edition) [Spanish]

La nueva novela del joven y multipremiado escritor Brais Lamela. Un libro hermoso, imaginativo y audaz por uno de los nuevos talentos m s resplandecientes del pa s.

Dos j venes se adentran en una tierra extra a en busca de un antiguo asentamiento colonial. Huyen de los incendios, se refugian en hoteles perdidos en la selva, y entre ellos va tram ndose una intimidad fr gil, atravesada por la sospecha de que cada palabra pueda significar lo contrario de lo que parece.

A partir de ese viaje, Brais Lamela despliega un mundo narrativo expansivo y singular, en el que distintas voces, tiempos y relatos se entrelazan: las ansiosas cartas de un viajero al otro lado del Atl ntico, una noche de insomnio sostenida por la lectura en voz alta y, como un coro subterr neo, un grupo de estatuas expoliadas que exigen regresar.

La lengua extranjera es una novela ambiciosa y envolvente sobre el arte, la memoria y la alargada sombra de la violencia colonial; sobre el lenguaje como fuerza capaz de desestabilizar y transformar el mundo.

Con una prosa de gran fuerza po tica, La lengua extranjera cruza la cr nica ntima, la novela hist rica y la imaginaci n pol tica para construir una obra polif nica y valiente, que confirma a Brais Lamela como una de las voces j venes m s singulares de nuestro panorama literario.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new novel by young, multi-award-winning writer Brais Lamela: a beautiful, imaginative, and daring work by one of the country's most brilliant emerging talents.

Two young people venture into a strange land in search of an old colonial settlement. Fleeing the fires, they take refuge in hotels deep in the jungle, while a fragile intimacy begins to form between them--shadowed by the suspicion that every word might mean the opposite of what it seems.

From this journey, Brais Lamela unfolds an expansive and singular narrative world in which different voices, eras, and stories intertwine: the anxious letters of a traveler across the Atlantic, a sleepless night sustained by reading aloud, and, like an underground chorus, a group of plundered statues demanding to return home.

What Remains is an ambitious, immersive novel about art, memory, and the long shadow of colonial violence--and about language as a force capable of destabilizing and transforming the world.

Written in prose of remarkable poetic power, What Remains blends intimate chronicle, historical fiction, and political imagination to create a bold, polyphonic work that confirms Brais Lamela as one of the most distinctive young voices in contemporary literature.
