Shifting viewpoints, magic realism, and narrative mastery are all
integral parts of "Nostalgia," Romanian author and perennial Nobel
Prize favorite Mircea Cartarescu's masterpiece. The book is
comprised of five unrelated stories: "The Roulette Player," in
which a desperately unlucky man manages to amass a fortune by
taking part in dangerous games of Russian roulette; "Mentardy"
narrates the travails of a prepubescent messiah who loses his
powers with the advent of his sexuality; "The Twins," a brave
exploration of youthful rage; "REM," in which a middle-aged woman
falls in love with a university student in a nightmarish Bucharest;
and "The Architect," in which a man who cannot silence his car horn
becomes obsessed with sound--an obsession that will have cosmic
consequences. Readers eager to acquaint themselves with one of the
most important voices in modern European literature will not want
to miss this sophisticated, haunting collection of stories.
"Puntos de vista variables, el realismo magico y la maestria
narrativa son facetas integras de "Nostalgia," la obra maestra del
autor rumano y favorito perenne para el Premio Nobel, Mircea
Cartarescu. El libro consta de cinco cuentos no relacionados: "El
ruletista," en el que un hombre al que nunca le ha sonreido la
suerte hace fortuna participando en letales sesiones de ruleta
rusa; "El Mendebil," el cual narra los infortunios de un mesias
impuber que pierde sus poderes magicos con el advenimiento de su
propia sexualidad; "Los gemelos," una bizarra exploracion de la ira
juvenil; "REM," en el cual una mujer de mediana edad se enamora de
un estudiante de instituto en una Bucarest pesadillesca; y "El
arquitecto," en el cual un hombre que no logra silenciar el claxon
de su coche se obsesiona con el sonido--una obsesion que tendra
consecuencias cosmicas. El lector interesado en conocer a una de
las voces mas importantes de la literatura europea moderna no se
querra perder esta sofisticada, inolvidable coleccion de
historias."
