About the Book

Una novela tan desgarradora como hermosa, un canto a la dignidad del ser humano. Por el autor de El paciente inglés.

El fantasma de Anil nos lleva a Sri Lanka, un país ahogado por siglos de tradición y obligado a entrar en el final del siglo XX entre los estragos causados por una guerra civil.

En mitad de esta vorágine, emerge Anil Tissera, una joven nacida en Sri Lanka y educada en Inglaterra y América que ha vuelto a su hogar como la antropóloga forense encargada de descubrir el origen de la serie orquestada de asesinatos que envuelven la isla.

Con el telón de fondo de una civilización extinta y un paisaje elocuente, Ondaatje nos narra, con su estilo inconfundible, una historia sobre el amor, la familia, la identidad y los enemigos insospechados.Novela galardonada con el Premio Médicis, el Irish Times International Fiction Prize y el Premio Giller.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Anil's Ghost transports us to Sri Lanka, a country steeped in centuries of tradition, now forced into the late twentieth century by the ravages of civil war.

Into this maelstrom steps Anil Tissera, a young woman born in Sri Lanka, educated in England and America, who returns to her homeland as a forensic anthropologist sent by an international human rights group to discover the source of the organized campaigns of murder engulfing the island.
What follows is a story about love, about family, about identity, about the unknown enemy, about the quest to unlock the hidden past-a story propelled by a riveting mystery.

Unfolding against the deeply evocative background of Sri Lanka's landscape and ancient civilization, Anil's Ghost is a literary spellbinder-Michael Ondaatje's most powerful novel yet.
About the Author: Michale Ondaatje (Colombo, Sri Lanka, 1943), novelista, poeta, profesor universitario y editor canadiense de origen cingalés, ha cultivado diversos géneros literarios con un estilo siempre innovador. Fascinado por el Oeste americano escribió Las obras completas de Billy el Niño (1970), una original combinación de poesía, prosa e imágenes. Entre su obra narrativa destacan novelas como En una piel de león (1987), El fantasma de Anil (2000, Premio Médicis, Irish Times International Fiction Prize y Premio Giller), Divisadero (2008) y El viaje de Mina (2011). Sin embargo, la obra que le otorgó reconocimiento internacional fue El paciente inglés (1992, Premio Booker), adaptada al cine por Anthony Minghella en 1996. Su aclamada obra poética, con títulos como Los monstruos cotidianos (1967) o El hombre con siete dedos en los pies (1969), se caracteriza por la profusión de sorprendentes imágenes y metáforas. También ha escrito sus memorias, recogidas en el libro Cosas de familia (1998).
