Overview

Ganadora del Man Booker Prize y del National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction.

Una extraordinaria novela sobre el amor, la pérdida y el desarraigo.

Nueva edición con un prólogo inédito de la autora. Galardonada con los dos premios más prestigiosos de la literatura en lengua inglesa, el Man Booker Prize y el National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, El legado de la pérdida es una novela de extraordinaria amplitud y sensibilidad. Ambientada a mediados de los años ochenta, entre el norte de la India y las calles de Nueva York, explora los deseos, conflictos y desarraigos que definen nuestro mundo contemporáneo.

En una casa aislada y en ruinas, al pie del Himalaya, vive un viejo juez que anhela retirarse en paz cuando su nieta huérfana, Sai, llega a su puerta. El cocinero del juez, un hombre bondadoso a quien le fascina contar historias, la cuida con afecto, aunque sus pensamientos viajan lejos, hacia su hijo Biju, que encadena trabajos precarios en los restaurantes de Nueva York mientras intenta mantenerse un paso por delante del Servicio de Inmigración y hallar su lugar en el mundo. En las montañas, una insurgencia nepalí sacude la región y altera el incipiente amor de Sai por su joven tutor, Gyan, atraído por la rebelión y las promesas de cambio. Las vidas de todos -el juez, el cocinero, la nieta y el hijo ausente- se ven arrastradas por la misma corriente de incertidumbre y deseo, mientras la nación entera se debate entre la esperanza y la traición.

Con una mirada lúcida y compasiva, Kiran Desai explora las fracturas del amor y del exilio, las huellas del colonialismo y las ilusiones de la globalización. Luminosa y profunda, El legado de la pérdida es una novela conmovedora sobre la condición humana, sobre los sueños y las derrotas que conforman la vida moderna, y sobre cómo, a veces, lo que se pierde revela con más fuerza quiénes somos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Fiction Award, Kiran Desai’s extraordinary novel of love and loss, now reissued with a new introduction by the author.

Published to astonishing acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists.

Desai takes us to the northeastern Himalayas where a rising insurgency challenges the old way of life. In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga lives an embittered old judge who wants to retire in peace when his orphaned granddaughter Sai arrives on his doorstep. The judge's chatty cook watches over her, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS, forced to consider his country's place in the world.

When a Nepalese insurgency in the mountains threatens Sai's new-sprung romance with her handsome Nepali tutor and causes their lives to descend into chaos, they, too, are forced to confront their colliding interests. The nation fights itself. The cook witnesses the hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge must revisit his past, his own role in this grasping world of conflicting desires-every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal.

A novel of depth and emotion, Desai's second, long-awaited novel fulfills the grand promise established by her first.
