Overview

Exploración del deseo a través de la historia de Fatma, una mujer deseada, y la ciudad amurallada de Mogador.

Por Alberto Ruy Sánchez, autor de La mano del fuego y reconocido como Oficial de la Orden de las Artes y de las Letras por el gobierno de Francia.

La historia de Fatma, mujer deseante y deseada, sirve para trazar una aventura y una anatomía de esa poderosa dimensión de la vida que es el deseo. Y buscar las palabras precisas para atraparlo en su vuelo y nombrarlo. La ciudad amurallada de Mogador es el ámbito excepcional donde crece ese deseo, pero también es la metáfora de una mujer deseada, mujer ciudad, mujer laberinto.

Lo que ha dicho la crítica:

"Los nombres del aire es una sorpresa. No invención de un lenguaje sino un lenguaje inventor de atmósferas insólitas... Además, Ruy Sánchez se nos ha revelado como uno de nuestros mejores ensayistas. Su escritura es nerviosa y ágil. Su inteligencia aguda sin ser cruel, su ánimo compasivo sin condescendencia ni complicidad". -Octavio Paz.

"En este libro bello y perturbador un hombre explora lentamente el universo lleno de misterio y poesía de una mujer". -Raphaëlle Rérolle, Le Monde.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An exploration of desire through the story of Fatma, a desired woman, and the walled city of Mogador.

By Alberto Ruy Sánchez, author of The Hand of Fire and recognized as an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government.

The story of Fatma, a woman who desires and is desired, serves to trace both an adventure and an anatomy of that powerful dimension of life we call desire—an attempt to find the precise words to catch it in flight and name it. The walled city of Mogador is the exceptional setting in which this desire grows, but it is also the metaphor of a desired woman: woman-city, woman-labyrinth.

What the critics have said:

The Names of the Air is a surprise. Not the invention of a language but a language that invents unusual atmospheres… Furthermore, Ruy Sánchez has revealed himself as one of our best essayists. His writing is taut and agile. His intelligence is sharp without being cruel, his spirit compassionate without condescension or complicity.” —Octavio Paz.

“In this beautiful and unsettling book, a man slowly explores the universe of mystery and poetry of a woman.” —Raphaëlle Rérolle, Le Monde.
