About the Book

La nueva novela de Mathias Enard, galardonada con el prestigioso Premio Goncourt 2015, es una declaración de amor a Oriente Próximo, mezcla de memorias, libro de viajes y dietario sentimental. Una historia inolvidable sobre las mil y una maneras en que Oriente enamoró a Occidente.
En su apartamento de Viena, mientras empieza a nevar sobre la ciudad, el reconocido musicólogo Franz Ritter evoca todo lo vivido y aprendido mientras sus pensamientos vuelan hacia Estambul, Alepo, Palmira, Damasco o Teherán, lugares que han marcado su biografía intelectual y sentimental.
Durante esta noche de insomnio desfilan por su mente amigos y amores, músicos y literatos malditos, viajeros y mujeres aventureras de procedencia y destino inciertos, todos tocados por el hechizo de Oriente Próximo. De entre todos ellos, es Sarah la que ocupa sus pensamientos más profundos: veinte años ha estado Franz enamorado de esta mujer, con la que ha compartido una intensa relación marcada por los viajes y por la cultura oriental.
Merecedora del prestigioso Premio Goncourt, esta novela nocturna, envolvente y musical, de una erudición generosa y un humor agridulce, es un viaje y una declaración de amor, una búsqueda del Otro en nosotros y un tender la mano para construir un puente entre Oriente y Occidente, entre el ayer y el mañana, en este presente tan frágil para ambos mundos. Enard rinde homenaje «a todos aquellos que, partiendo hacia el Levante o el Poniente, cayeron en las redes de la diferencia hasta el punto de sumergirse en las lenguas, las culturas o las músicas que iban descubriendo, a veces hasta perderse en cuerpo y alma».

Críticas:
«Un fabuloso texto, digno de Las mil y una noches, sobre las mil y una maneras en que Oriente revolucionó el arte, la literatura y la música.»
Le Nouvel Observateur

«Una gran novela de amor»
Le Magazine Littéraire

«El libro más destacado del panorama literario actual. [...] ambicioso e inteligente.»
Le Figaro Littéraire

«La erudición, lejos de desalentar la lectura, encaja perfectamente dentro de la ficción, haciéndola brillar con miles de anécdotas.»
Livres Hebdo

«Una grandiosa pero trágica historia de amor.»
Les Inrockuptibles

«Novela sobre el amor y los deseos frustrados, Brújula es un libro grandioso, un sueño épico que te conduce a lo largo de dos siglos de historia.»
Lire

«[Enard] nos obsequia con una noche de insomnio invitándonos a un viaje por los recuerdos de un musicólogo enamoradode Oriente Próximo. Hipnótico.»
Le Monde des Livres

«El magnetismo de la fascinante prosa de Enard en su máximo apogeo.»
La Croix

«El nuevo libro de Mathias Enard es hermoso como un cuento árabe, y parece haber recogido una vida entera de viajes. Con su corazón en Palmira. Más necesario ahora que nunca.»
Grazia

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the 2015 Prix Goncourt, an astounding novel that bridges Europe and the Islamic world. As night falls over Vienna, Franz Ritter, an insomniac musicologist, takes to his sickbed with an unspecified illness and spends a restless night drifting between dreams and memories, revisiting the important chapters of his life: his ongoing fascination with the Middle East and his numerous travels to Istanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, and Tehran, as well as the various writers, artists, musicians, academics, orientalists, and explorers who populate this vast dreamscape. At the center of these memories is his elusive, unrequited love, Sarah, a fiercely intelligent French scholar caught in the intricate tension between Europe and the Middle East.
About the Author: Mathias Enard nació en 1972 en Niort, Francia. Tras cursar estudios de árabe y persa y pasar largas estancias en Oriente Próximo, se estableció en Barcelona en el año 2000, donde participó activamente en varias revistas culturales, entre ellas la desaparecida Lateral. Miembro del consejo de redacción de la revista Inculte en París, en 2005 fue elegido escritor residente en la prestigiosa Villa Médicis de Roma. Ha ejercido de profesor de árabe en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. Enard es autor de las novelas La perfección del Tiro (Reverso, 2004), Remontando el Orinoco (La Otra Orilla, 2006), El manual del perfecto terrorista (La Otra Orilla, 2007), Zona (La Otra Orilla, 2008), Habladles de batallas, de reyes y elefantes (Literatura Random House, 2011), El alcohol y la nostalgia (Literatura Random House, 2012) y Calle de los Ladrones (Literatura Random House, 2013). Ha sido galardonado con diversos premios, entre los cuales cabe destacar el Premio de la Francofonía 2004, el Prix Décembre, el Prix du Livre Inter, el Premio Goncourt de los Estudiantes en 2010 y el Premio Goncourt 2015 por Brújula, su última novela.
