Overview

La última y enigmática novela del Premio Nacional de Literatura de Guatemala Miguel Ángel Asturias y del Premio Iberoamericano de las Letras José Donoso, entre otros.

«Rey Rosa es un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generación». Roberto Bolaño

«Hacía tanto tiempo que no se sentía tan triste. Una tristeza así, que parecía que provenía de más allá del inicio de la vida, era como el presentimiento del tiempo en que dejaría de existir».

Un escritor despierta en un cuarto amplio con grandes ventanas que dan al mar, una habitación blanca y tranquila de la que no puede salir. Está en un hospital psiquiátrico en Grecia y no recuerda nada, pero en su mesita de noche encuentra un manuscrito que explica cómo llegó hasta ahí. Había pasado varios días deambulando por Atenas, empeñado en traducir unos antiguos documentos protegidos por dos hermanos siniestros y conversando sobre la vida después de la muerte con un vagabundo vestido con túnica de filósofo en pleno invierno.
 
Cuando finalmente mejora, su psiquiatra decide mandarles a él y a un viejo conocido a investigar una religión antiquísima y perseguida que predica la migración de las almas. En ese ámbito del mundo cabría volver a creer en la vida eterna, pero el amor de la joven Jaín puede poner en riesgo hasta la mente más cuerda.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The enigmatic new novel by the winner of Guatemala’s Miguel Ángel Asturias National Prize in Literature and the José Donoso Ibero-American Literature Award.

“Rey Rosa is a consummate master, the best of my generation.” - Roberto Bolaño

“He hadn’t felt that sad in a long time.  A sadness that seemed to stretch back to before the beginnings of life itself, like a presentiment of the time when it would no longer exist.”

A writer awakens in a spacious room with large windows giving onto the sea, a soothing white room that he cannot leave. As he soon discovers, he is in a psychiatric hospital in Greece. He remembers nothing, but in his night table he finds a manuscript explaining how he got there. He had been in Athens, trying to track down a set of old documents protected by a pair of sinister brothers and talking about death with a street person dressed in a philosopher’s toga despite the winter weather.
 
When at last the writer recovers, his psychiatrist tasks him and an old friend to research an ancient and persecuted religion that believes in the transmigration of souls. As he starts wondering about the possibility of eternal life, the love of a young woman named Jaín threatens to unbalance even the soundest mind.
