Overview

Premio Nobel de literatura 2023

«Jon Fosse es uno de los más importantes escritores europeos». –Karl Ove Knausgård


Düsseldorf, 1853. El joven artista Lars Hertervig, alumno de Hans Gude en la Academia de Arte de Düsseldorf, está encerrado en su habitación, paralizado por la ansiedad que le provocan las clases de arte y el amor irracional que siente hacia Helene Winckelmann, la hija de su casera. La fijación de Lars por Helene, marcada por alucinaciones y furiosos delirios sexuales, obliga a la familia de la joven a expulsarlo de la habitación donde se hospeda. Sin ningún lugar adónde ir, Hertervig deambula entre un café donde soporta las burlas de sus compañeros de la academia y el apartamento de los Winckelmann, en el que intenta desesperadamente ser admitido de nuevo: una especie de limbo que lo lleva a un inexorable estado de locura.
 
Melancolía es una ficcional, salvaje y febril invocación del artista noruego del siglo ‑‑ Lars Hertervig, que pintó paisajes bañados de luz, sufrió una enfermedad mental y murió pobre en 1902. Galardonada con el Melsom Prize y el Sunnmøre Prize, está considerada una de las grandes novelas de quien ha sido llamado «el Beckett de siglo ‑‑» (Le Monde).

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature

Düsseldorf, 1853. Lars Hertervig, a student of Hans Gude at the city’s Academy of Art, is locked in his room, paralyzed by anxiety over his classes and his irrational passion for Helene Winckelmann, the daughter of his landlady. Disturbed by Lars’s obsession with Helene, which manifests itself in hallucinations and unhinged sexual delusions, the family soon evicts him. With nowhere to go, Lars spends his time at a café, where he is taunted by his classmates from the academy, while desperately trying to be accepted back into the Winckelmann’s apartment. It is a state of limbo that drives him inexorably into madness.
 
Melancholy is a fictional, wild and feverish invocation of nineteenth-century Norwegian artist Lars Hertervig, who painted light-bathed landscapes, suffered a mental breakdown and died poor in 1902. The winner of the Melsom and Sunnmøre Prizes, it is considered one of the greatest works of an author hailed as “the Beckett of the century” (Le Monde).
