About the Book

De Obaba a Yangambi.
El sorprendente viaje de Bernardo Atxaga es toda una aventura.

En Yangambi, junto al río Congo, el ejército de Leopoldo II de Bélgica impone el orden bajo la autoridad de Lalande Biran, un poeta con deseos de amasar fortuna y regresar a las tertulias de los cafés de París.

A su alrededor se mueven disparatados y espléndidos personajes que convierten aquella selva en un delirante circo de la ambición y el absurdo humano: el ex legionario Cocó, mujeriego y brutal, con la cabeza siempre dividida en dos; el gigante Donatien, servil y pérfido; los mandriles, una virgen, un león y una deslumbrante nativa. Pero las cosas comienzan a ser diferentes con la llegada de un nuevo oficial: Chrysostome Liège, un tirador infalible que esconde una enigmática personalidad.

Siete casas en Francia es una novela que huye de la crónica sombría o de la denuncia vehemente; busca, en cambio, a través del humor y de la aventura, la metáfora que habla del lado siniestro de nuestro mundo.

Reseñas:
«Lo más novedoso y excitante que ofrece la literatura europea de nuestros días. Leerlo es un placer.»
Publishing News

«Su enorme variedad y su mezcla única de posibilidades genéricas lo apartan de casi todo dentro de la narrativa. Sus páginas recrean un mundo nuevo y fresco con una originalidad poco común en la literatura española contemporánea.»
The New York Times

«Hay que ser muy escritor para atreverse a tanto y lograr una obra tan buena.»
José María Pozuelo Yvancos, ABCD las Artes y las Letras

«Los personajes son realmente fascinantes. A través de ellos se produce una serie de episodios divertidos, emocionantes y siempre memorables, que refuerzan lo que de fábula tiene la novela.»
J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Yangambi, next to the Congo river, the army of Leopold II of Belgium imposes order under the comman d of Lalande Biran. As a poet, Biran's only objective is to amass a fortune and return to Paris. The characters that surround him turn the wilderness of the jungle into a circus of ambitions and human absurdities. But things take a different turn with the arrival of a new officer, an unerring marksman who hides an enigmatic personality.
