Overview

Amazon Mejores libros del 2024 Vuelve la aclamada Elif Shafak con una epopeya arrolladora que cabalga entre los siglos a través de tres personajes conectados por el poema más antiguo de todos los tiempos: Gilgamesh. En la antigua Nínive, a orillas del río Tigris, durante la época de mayor esplendor de Mesopotamia, el culto y despiadado rey Asurbanipal erigió una magnífica biblioteca para atesorar su preciada colección de tablillas, como las de La epopeya de Gilgamesh. El monarca está a punto de quemar vivo a su viejo maestro, aquel que le inculcó el amor por la poesía, pero que ha terminado por traicionarlo. Pronto el Imperio asirio se derrumbará y quedará sepultado. Este es el punto de partida de «una novela extraordinaria e inolvidable (Mary Beard) en la que Elif Shafak, «una voz única en toda la literatura mundial (Ian McEwan), consigue hilar con pericia la historia de tres personajes marginales cuyas vidas, desde el siglo VI antes de Cristo hasta nuestros días, permanecen enlazadas por una gota de agua que renace a lo largo de los ríos y los siglos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Amazon's Best Books of 2024 The acclaimed Elif Shafak returns with a sweeping epic that rides along centuries with three characters linked by the oldest poem of all time: Gilgamesh. In ancient Nineveh, on the bank of the Tigris River, during Mesopotamia's greatest splendor, the cultured and despicable King Ashurbanipal erected a magnificent library to hoard his treasured tablet collection, including The Epic of Gilgamesh. The monarch is about to burn his old master alive, he who taught him to love poetry, but who has now betrayed him. Soon the Assyrian empire will crumble and be buried. This is the starting point of "an extraordinary and unforgettable novel" (Mary Beard) in which Elif Shafak, "a singular voice in all of world literature" (Ian McEwan, ) expertly weaves the story of three marginal figures whose lives, from the fifth century before Christ to the present day, remain linked by a drop of water, reborn along rivers and centuries.
