Synopsis "Al Paraiso / To Paradise (in Spanish)"

En la Lista de Lecturas de Barack Obama para el Verano de 2022 2.500.000 DE LECTORES VOLVERÁN A EMOCIONARSE NÚMERO UNO EN VENTAS EN THE NEW YORK TIMESTras Tan poca vida --«un fenómeno digno de estudio (La Razón), Mejor Libro del Año según más de 15 medios--, la nueva novela de una autora «con una capacidad deslumbrante para atrapar desde las tripas en una lectura febril (El Mundo) UNO DE LOS LIBROS MÁS ESPERADOS DEL AÑO SEGÚN THE GUARDIAN, THE TIMES, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE TELEGRAPH, THE DAILY MAIL, FINANTIAL TIMES Y THE IRISH TIMES«Al paraíso es tan buena como Guerra y paz . --Edmund White En una versión alternativa de la América de 1893, Nueva York forma parte de los Estados Libres, donde el matrimonio homosexual está permitido. Un muchacho de familia distinguida se debate entre casarse con un pretendiente elegido por su abuelo o escoger a un profesor de música con pocos recursos de quien está enamorado. En un Manhattan de 1993 asediado por «la enfermedad , un joven hawaiano vive con su pareja, cuya edad e ingresos superan con creces los suyos, y le oculta su infancia problemática y el destino de su padre. Y en 2093, en un mundo asolado por plagas y gobernado por un estado totalitario, un poderoso científico y su familia intentan encontrar las estrategias necesarias para sobrevivir sin perderse unos a otros por el camino. Como en una sinfonía fascinante e ingeniosa, estas tres partes conforman una novela monumental, histórica y distópica en la que el amor parece imposible y, sin embargo, los protagonistas, con sus limitaciones y secretos, se obstinan en buscarlo como único modo de llegar al paraíso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Included in Barack Obama's Summer Reading List 2022 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - From the author of the classic A Little Life--a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment, about lovers, family, loss and the elusive promise of utopia. In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him--and solve the mystery of her husband's disappearances. These three sections are joined in an enthralling and ingenious symphony, as recurring notes and themes deepen and enrich one another: A townhouse in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village; illness, and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and squalor; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family, and of nationhood; the dangerous righteousness of the powerful, and of revolutionaries; the longing to find a place in an earthly paradise, and the gradual realization that it can't exist. What unites not just the characters, but these Americas, are their reckonings with the qualities that make us human: Fear. Love. Shame. Need. Loneliness. To Paradise is a findesiecle novel of marvelous literary effect, but above all it is a work of emotional genius. The great power of this remarkable novel is driven by Yanagihara's understanding of the aching desire to protect those we love--partners, lovers, children, friends, family and even our fellow citizens--and the pain that ensues when we cannot.

Born in 1974 in Los Angeles, California. After graduating from Smith College in 1995, she moved to New York to work as a publicist and in 2017 became the director of the renowned T magazine, the fashion supplement of The New York Times. In 2015 she published A Little Life (Lumen, 2016), the novel with which she achieved international success.

Published in twenty-five countries, it was nominated for the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Award, chosen as the best novel of the year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Guardian, The Economist, Newsweek, People, Time Out New York, Huffington Post, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews, among other media, and has captivated more than two and a half million readers.

The People in the Trees (Lumen, 2018) was her first novel, considered one of the best of 2013 and the one that distinguished Yanagihara as a young promise in the literary world. Her latest and anticipated novel, To Paradise, which will also be published by Lumen, will be an international publishing event in 2022.

He comprado el libro porque la escritura de la autora es un deleite y deseo que me sorprenda una vez más. El libro llegó muy rápido, pero venía un poco sucio y eso me decepcionó; siendo un libro original debería considerarse el cuidado apropiado de los libros al ser enviados.
