Overview

En la lista de los 100 mejores libros del 2020 del New York Times.

Después de La infancia de Jesús y Los días de Jesús en la escuela, el Nobel de Literatura J.M. Coetzee cierra magistralmente su trilogía con una última novela.

«¿Tienes alguna idea de quién era ese niño que vivía a tu cuidado? Él dice que sabías que era excepcional, pero ¿tienes idea de cuán excepcional era, realmente? No lo creo. Era rápido mentalmente y hábil con los pies: eso es lo que tú entiendes por excepcional. En cambio, yo supe que él no pertenecía a este mundo; lo supe desde el momento mismo en que puse mis ojos sobre él. Era como esos pájaros -no recuerdo ahora su nombre- que muy de vez en cuando descienden del cielo para que los meros seres terrestres los veamos, y luego levantan vuelo otra vez para continuar su eterno peregrinar».

David ha cumplido diez años y todas las semanas juega al fútbol con sus amigos. No tienen equipos ni tampoco reglas; a veces son treinta en el campo y otras veces solo cinco. Un día el director de un orfanato vecino los invita a organizarse para jugar contra los internados. Tal vez disfruten de medirse con un equipo de verdad, de esforzarse al máximo y darlo todo para ganar. Pero David elige dejar su hogar e irse a vivir con ellos. Al poco tiempo, cae enfermo de una dolencia misteriosa.

La muerte de Jesús cierra la saga -poética, filosófica- del Premio Nobel J.M. Coetzee sobre la vida de David en un mundo sin memoria. Una vida luminosa y fugaz como un cometa que cruza el cielo. Con un estilo despojado de lenguaje, el Nobel lleva hasta las últimas consecuencias esta historia para brindarnos su mayor obra: una poética de gran envergadura intelectual que indaga acerca del origen de todo.

«Una propuesta narrativa en extremo radical: llevar a sus últimas consecuencias el proceso de despojamiento del lenguaje, reduciendo el arte de narrar a sus elementos esenciales.» El País

«Uno de los mejores premios Nobel de toda la historia.» ABC

«Coetzee es un clásico porque su escritura ya nos pertenece a todos.» - El Mundo

«Coetzee es uno de los grandes maestros de lo que no se cuenta y de lo que queda implícito.» - The New York Review of Books

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

New York Times Notable Book of 2020


After La infancia de Jesús / The Childhood of Jesus and Los días de Jesús en la escuela / The Schooldays of Jesus, Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee masterfully concludes his trilogy.

 
“Do you have any idea who that boy was who lived in your care? He says that you knew he was exceptional, but do you know how exceptional he was, really? I don’t think so. He was mentally quick and good on his feet: that’s what you understand by “exceptional.” I, on the other hand, knew that he didn’t belong to this world; I knew it from the moment I laid eyes on him. He was like those birds—I don’t remember their name now—that only occasionally come down from the sky so that mere earth dwellers can see them, and then they take flight again to continue their eternal pilgrimage.”
 
David just turned ten and every week he plays soccer with his friends. They don’t have teams or even rules: sometimes there are thirty of them on the field and other times only five. One day, the director of a nearby orphanage invites them to organize a game with the orphans. Maybe they like playing against a real team, pushing themselves to the maximum and leaving it all on the field. But David decides to leave his home and go live with them. After a short time, he falls ill with a mysterious ailment.
 
The Death of Jesus closes Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee’s poetic and philosophical saga about the life of David in a world without memory. A luminous, fleeting life, like a comet that streaks across the sky. With a style stripped of language, the author offers us his best work: a poetic piece of great intellectual magnitude that delves into the origin of everything.
