About the Book

Como ya hizo en El piano oriental, Zeina Abirached vuelve a acercar las culturas de Oriente y Occidente en colaboración con Mathias Énard, ganador del Premio Goncourt en 2015.

En todas las tradiciones budistas, «tomar refugio» es el primer paso en el camino a la liberación interior. Se trata de un acto de palabra donde se testimonia la confianza en el buda, en el dharma y en el sangha, los tres tesoros. A partir de esta idea, Zeina Abirached y Mathias Énard tejen una entrañable historia sobre la soledad, el amor y la búsqueda de la propia identidad.

Tomar refugio se desarrolla en dos líneas temporales y geográficas: en el Afganistán de 1939, la escritora Annemarie Schwarzenbach vive un idilio con una paleontóloga mientras en Europa estalla la Segunda Guerra Mundial; en el Berlín de 2016, un joven alemán colabora en la creación de un campo de refugiados y se enamora de una mujer siria casada, amor que es correspondido, aunque las diferencias culturales parecen separarlos.

Dos historias de amor atípicas que resuenan entre sí a pesar de la distancia: tiempos atribulados, seres humanos que al tratar de vencer aquello que los diferencia se enfrentan a la oposición de la sociedad.

Las bellas y poéticas imágenes de Zeina Abirached se ponen al servicio de uno de los mejores escritores del momento, especialista en la cultura árabe y siempre comprometido con las libertades en Oriente, dando lugar a una obra artísticamente extraordinaria y políticamente más necesaria que nunca.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

As she did in The Oriental Piano, Zeina Abirached brings the cultures of the East and West closer together in collaboration with Mathias Énard, winner of the Goncourt Prize in 2015.

In all Buddhist traditions, taking shelter is the first step on the road to inner liberation. It's an act of testimony where trust in the buddha, dharma and sangha, and the three treasures, is spoken out loud. Based on this idea, Zeina Abirached and Mathias Énard weave an intimate story about loneliness, love, and the search for identity.

Take Shelter takes place on two geographical and time lines: in Afghanistan in 1939, the writer Annemarie Schwarzenbach has a romance with a paleontologist while in Europe the Second World War breaks out. In Berlin 2016, a young German collaborates in the creation of a refugee camp and falls in love with a married Syrian woman, a love that is reciprocated, even though cultural differences seem to separate them.

Two atypical love stories that resonate with each other despite the distance: troubled times, human beings who, trying to overcome their differences, face opposition from society.
The beautiful and poetic images of Zeina Abirached are put at the service of one of the best writers our time, a specialist in Arab culture and always committed to freedoms in the East, giving rise to an extraordinarily artistic and unavoidably political work that's needed now more than ever.
