( ) It is a lyrical book, on the lines of Paulo Cohelo's The Alchemist. An invisible man's journey, a description of journey that has lot of subtext. However, lazy superficial me was not much interested in deciphering all of the subtexts. Not my kind of book, but would interest anyone who prefers lyrical languages and underlying spiritual/happiness messages in an intriguing journey. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"One of the BBC's "100 Novels That Shaped Our World," a much-needed fable that could change how we see ourselves and our reality, from the renowned Booker Prize-winning author. A young man finds himself among invisible beings who have built a world based on one principle: that we must repeat every experience until we live it fully for the first time. "Only then can we find what we didn't seek and go where we don't intend to go." Ben Okri navigates the world at once as a writer, an artist, a musician, and a philosopher-in the process, he challenges our craving for the visual and the concrete. We read him not only with our eyes but also with our senses, our intuition. As his story unfolds we begin to inhabit the ineffable land that he creates, our imagination led to a place where what we once thought were fundamental truths are turned magically on their heads. In the difficult times we live in, in an age decimated by injustice and inequality, Okri brings unexpected insights as meaningful as they are transformative. "Maybe what seeks us is better than what we seek.""-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
