Canción de la Infancia / A Song from My Childhood [Spanish]

By J.M.G. Le Clézio

Book Overview

La nueva novela del premio Nobel de Literatura: un canto al independentismo emocional y el relato sobrecogedor de su infancia como ni?o de la guerra.

En este viaje sentimental por Breta?a, la tierra id?lica de su infancia, Le Cl?zio nos invita a reflexionar sobre la identidad territorial, los nacionalismos y el paso del tiempo. Desde su primer recuerdo -la explosi?n de una bomba en el jard?n de la casa de su abuela-, pasando por los a?os vividos como ni?o de la guerra, que de forma tan terrible impactaron en su aprendizaje del mundo, el premio Nobel de Literatura dibuja una p?gina imprescindible de su geograf?a emocional que habla de la pertenencia y su lugar en la memoria.

Un recorrido hacia la madurez, pero sobre todo una mirada l?cida sobre los cambios sociopol?ticos en un territorio ?nico, la progresiva desaparici?n de su econom?a tradicional y la orgullosa dignidad de un pueblo que, pese a todo, se aferra a sus ra?ces.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The latest novel from this Nobel Prize winner, a song of emotional independence and the breathtaking tale of his early days as a war child.

In this sentimental journey through Britain, the idyllic land of his childhood, Le Cl?zio invites us to reflect upon territorial identity, nationalism, and the passage of time. From his early memories (a bomb exploding in his grandmother's backyard), sifting through his years as a war child, a time that had a terrible impact in his knowledge of the world, the Nobel laureate draws an essential page from his emotional geography, discussing his sense of belonging and its place within his memory.

It is a journey towards maturity, but most of all, a lucid look upon social and political changes in a unique territory, the gradual disappearance of traditional economy, and the proud dignity of a people that nevertheless still holds fast to their roots.
