Synopsis "Una Ofrenda Musical (in Spanish)"

Un sensible homenaje a la narración, la infancia y el poder transformador de la música.El segundo libro traducido al inglés de Luis Sagasti emprende un recorrido circular que hace eco de las Variaciones Goldberg de Bach para narrarnos historia tras historia, al estilo de Scheherazade, entretejidas de manera sutil y sorprendente, creando un tapiz que vibra al son de armonías celestiales. Sagasti nos guía en un viaje que va desde la música nacida bajo el sol a la música enviada al espacio en la misión Voyager. Desde Rothko hasta el rock, desde aquellos compositores en los campos de concentración hasta una habitación donde se escuchan los lamentos de los reclutas argentinos en Malvinas. Un delicado homenaje a la narración, la infancia y el poder transformador de la música. The Spanish language edition of A Musical Offering_. Tracing a circular course that echoes Bach's_ Goldberg Variations_, Luis Sagasti's second book to appear in English takes the guise of a musical scheherazade, recounting story after story, vibrating to celestial harmonies. From the music born of the sun to the music sent into space on the Voyager mission, from Rothko to rock music, from the composers of the concentration camps to a weeping room for Argentinian conscripts in the Falklands, _ A Musical Offering_traverses the shifting sands of fiction and history._A lyrical celebration of storytelling, of childhood, and of the transformative power of music.Tracing a circular course that echoes Bach's Goldberg Variations, Luis Sagasti's second book to appear in English takes the guise of a musical scheherazade, recounting story after story, vibrating to celestial harmonies.
