Overview

Una historia bíblica, la de Sara y Abraham, contada a través de ella: la mujer detrás del patriarca.

Sara es una novela bien documentada, verosímil, escrita con humor e inventiva, que presenta el lado humano de personajes bíblicos.

Sara es la narración de un peregrinaje por reinos hostiles y tierras inhóspitas, mientras cumplen con las arbitrarias indicaciones transmitidas a Abraham por Iahvé o "el Mago", un ser multiforme al que no parece gustarle la risa.

Mientras acampan en las inmediaciones del lago Salado, cerca de Sodoma y Gomorra, tres mancebos aparecen ante la pareja para anunciarles que la infértil y anciana Sara dará a luz un hijo que convertirá a Abraham en tronco de innumerables generaciones.

Pese a que generación tras generación se creyó que ésta era una historia protagonizada por hombres, es Sara, con su ironía, humor, incredulidad, tesón y capacidad para cuestionar los designios divinos, laque la dota de autenticidad.

Con el ritmo de una de esas historias que se contaban al calor del fuego, Sergio Ramírez construye en esta novela un brillante divertimento a partir de una figura tomada de la Biblia, pero vestida con el ropaje de una sensibilidad femenina más actual. Es el relato de la rebeldía inteligente de una mujer que decide tomar las riendas de su vida hasta conseguir cumplir el mayor de sus anhelos -ser madre-, y preservarlo por encima de todo.

La crítica ha dicho sobre su autor:

"El primer cuentista vivo en el continente latinoamericano, y uno de los mejores en español, heredero de las armas de Cortázar y Monterroso... Por cada cuento un mundo."
Javier Sancho Más, Babelia

"Sergio Ramírez se mueve como pez en el agua en el dominio del relato, escribiendo cuentos que no se cansan de sacarle punta al lápiz de la vida, adoptando enfoques insólitos -que acaban convirtiendo en sorprendente un suceso banal- y aclimatando con suma habilidad el humor a las catástrofes cotidianas."
Javier Aparicio, El País
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Sarah and Abraham live as nomads "through hostile kingdoms, inhospitable lands, and places as distant as Egypt. It is while they are camped in the vicinity of the Dead Sea, near Sodom and Gomorrah, when three men appear to announce that the infertile and elderly Sarah will give birth to a son who will turn Abraham into the originator of countless generations. Sergio Ramírez presents the woman behind the man: Sarah. Jealousy, flirting, pragmatism, solidarity among women (in the case of Edith, Lot's wife), the silent demand for equality, the condescendence toward a husband whose every weakness and limitation she knows, the bewilderment in the face of the unjustified and arbitrary preference that "the Magician" shows for Abraham.
