Muertos Y Vivos / Dead and Alive: Essays [Spanish]

Una nueva y deslumbrante colecci n de ensayos de Zadie Smith, una de las escritoras m s brillantes, audaces y celebradas de su generaci n

«Zadie Smith es una ensayista excepcional. Tiene un don innato para ello. Escribe como piensa, y piensa con una precisi n y una claridad admirables. --The Guardian

A lo largo de sus libros de no ficci n como Cambiar de idea o Con total libertad, Zadie Smith ha demostrado una atenci n radical hacia el mundo que la rodea y un compromiso constante con las preguntas que definen nuestra poca. Muertos y vivos prolonga y renueva esa mirada con una escritura que observa, cuestiona y conecta, siempre desde un lugar atento y profundamente consciente de la complejidad del presente.

En estos textos agudos y luminosos, Smith despliega su capacidad nica para mirar la realidad con inteligencia, iron a y una sensibilidad que convierte cualquier tema en una invitaci n a pensar. Se acerca al arte contempor neo, a las historias que nos propone el cine, a la m sica que marca a nuevas generaciones y a los paisajes urbanos que han acompa ado su vida en Londres. Cada inter s se transforma aqu en una reflexi n clara, cercana y reveladora. Zadie Smith rinde homenaje tambi n a las voces que marcaron su formaci n literaria, desde Joan Didion hasta Toni Morrison o Martin Amis, y analiza con lucidez y un humor sereno los cambios pol ticos que han transformado los ltimos a os a ambos lados del Atl ntico. Su mirada cr tica ilumina tanto las tensiones de nuestra poca como las preguntas que atraviesan la experiencia individual.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Named a Best Book of 2025 by The New Yorker, TIME, Vanity Fair, and Kirkus Reviews - One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2025

"Smart, somber . . . There's pleasure in watching a novelist wired to see all sides at once wrangle with her own dynamic subjectivity."
--The New York Times Book Review

A profound and unparalleled literary voice, Zadie Smith returns with a resounding collection of essays.

In this eagerly awaited new collection, Zadie Smith brings her unique skills as an essayist to bear on a range of subjects that have captured her attention in recent years.

She takes an exhilaratingly close look at artists Toyin Ojih Odutola, Kara Walker and Celia Paul. She invites us along to the movies, to see and to think about T r, and to New York to reflect on the spontaneous moments that connect us. She takes us on a walk down Kilburn High Road in her beloved North-West London and welcomes us to mourn with her the passing of writers Joan Didion, Martin Amis, Hilary Mantel, Philip Roth and Toni Morrison. She considers changes of government on both sides of the Atlantic - and the meaning of "the commons" in all our lives.

Throughout this thrilling collection, Zadie Smith shows us once again her unrivalled ability to think through critically and humanely some of the most urgent preoccupations and tendencies of our troubled times.
