About the Book

Ganador del premio Golden Man Booker Prize, para el que compitieron los ganadores del prestigioso Man Booker Prize de los últimos 50 años.

La novela en la que se basa la aclamada película El paciente inglés, ganadora de 9 Oscar, incluyendo el premio a la mejor película.

El final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial alcanza a cuatro personas en una villa italiana. Una joven enfermera que cuida a un enigmático hombre completamente abrasado, un rastreador de explosivos de origen sij y un cínico superviviente de la guerra irán recomponiendo sus propias identidades. Algunos de sus recuerdos viajan hasta el ardiente y desolado desierto africano para desvelarnos una intensa historia de amor. La novela fue adaptada al cine en 1996 por Anthony Minghella, convirtiéndose en una de las películas más premiadas de la historia de los Oscar, con nueve estatuillas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With unsettling beauty and intelligence, this Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an abandoned Italian villa at the end of World War II.

The nurse Hana, exhausted by death, obsessively tends to her last surviving patient. Caravaggio, the thief, tries to reimagine who he is, now that his hands are hopelessly maimed.

The Indian sapper Kip searches for hidden bombs in a landscape where nothing is safe but himself. And at the center of his labyrinth lies the English patient, nameless and hideously burned, a man who is both a riddle and a provocation to his companions--and whose memories of suffering, rescue, and betrayal illuminate this book like flashes of heat lightning.

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).
