Overview
El rescate de un Hemingway inédito: la gran tarea de Ricardo Piglia antes de morir.
«Los cimientos de la teoría del iceberg de Hemingway reunidos por primera vez con un prólogo magistral de Ricardo Piglia. [...] Un libro fundamental, de indisoluble unidad temática, de estilo e incluso interpretativa.».-Matías Néspolo, El Mundo
Hemingway publicó En nuestro tiempo, su primer libro de cuentos, en 1925. Tenía veintiséis años y ya escribía como un veterano. Esta primera edición en español, deuda incomprensible que debía ser saldada, respeta el orden original de un libro de cuentos que por su organicidad y consistencia interna puede también leerse como una novela fragmentada. La guerra y el alcohol, la pesca y los toros, la soledad atormentada de Nick Adams ya están aquí, orbitando alrededor de ese núcleo emocional que Hemingway nunca nombra pero hacia el que sus relatos siempre gravitan.
Ricardo Piglia tenía dieciocho años cuando encontró un ejemplar usado de In Our Time en una librería de Mar del Plata. Lo leyó entero esa misma tarde. Su prólogo a esta edición (que escribió poco antes de su muerte) invita a los fieles lectores de Hemingway a participar de un diálogo iluminador y es, al mismo tiempo, una inmejorable presentación para aquellos afortunados a punto de cruzar esta puerta por primera vez.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“The foundations of Hemingway’s iceberg theory gathered for the first time, with a masterful prologue by Ricardo Piglia. […] A fundamental book of unbreakable thematic, stylistic, and even interpretive unity.” –Matías Néspolo, El Mundo
Hemingway published In Our Time, his first book of short stories, in 1925. He was 26 years old and already wrote like a veteran. This first Spanish-language edition, so long overdue, respects the original order of a short story compilation that, because of its organic nature and internal consistency, can also be read as a fragmented novel. War and alcohol, fishing and bulls, Nick Adams’ tormented solitude, they are all here, orbiting around that emotional nucleus that Hemingway never names but which gives his tales such weight.
Ricardo Piglia was 18 years old when he found a used copy of In Our Time in a bookstore in Mar del Plata. He read the whole thing that same afternoon. His prologue to this edition (which he wrote shortly before his death) invites faithful readers of Hemingway to participate in an illuminating dialogue and is at the same time a superb introduction for those lucky few who are about to dive in for the first time.
