Madres e hijos / Mothers and Sons. Collection of Short Stories

Por primera vez en castellano, los mejores cuentos del autor de Brooklyn, ganador de los premios Impac y Forster.

Cólm Tóibín se ha consolidado como uno de los grandes narradores contemporáneos de la literatura anglosajona. Comparado a menudo con Henry James, uno de sus grandes referentes, en nuestro país empieza a obtener el reconocimiento que ya tiene en Europa y en Estados Unidos. En este volumen, que recopila sus mejores cuentos, Tóibín aborda los grandes asuntos de su universo literario: las relaciones entre madres e hijos, la sociedad de Dublín, la imagen del hogar, el exilio y la inmigración e incluso nos ofrece un retrato espléndido y en absoluto convencional de Barcelona, una ciudad que conoce muy bien porque vivió en ella durante los años de la transición. Dueño de una prosa precisa y armónica y de una gran capacidad de penetración psicológica, Colm Tóibín es ya, gracias tanto a sus novelas como a sus relatos, un nuevo maestro. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Now for the first time in Spanish, the best stories from the internationally celebrated author of Brooklyn, and winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Cólm Tóibín is well recognized as one of the great contemporary narrators in English literature. often compared to Henry James, a writer who he has often referenced, Tóibín brings to this stunning collection an acute understanding of human frailty and longing. These are haunting, profoundly moving stories by a writer who is himself a master. In this collection, which compiles his best stories, Tóibín tackles the great issues in his literary universe: relationships between mothers and their children, Dublin society, the idea of home, exile and immigration. He also offers a splendid portrait of conventional Barcelona, a city that knows very well for having lived there during the transitional years. Owner of a precise and harmonious prose, and with a great ability to penetrate psychologically, Colm Tóibín is already, thanks to both his novels and his stories, a master himself.
