Many years ago a frigate of the French navy was wrecked. 147 men tried to save themselves by climbing up onto a huge rubber raft and entrusting themselves to the sea. Many years ago, on the shores of an ocean, a man arrived at a guesthouse where there lived strange children, a painter, a beautiful woman, a mysterious man, a girl who doesn’t want to die, and a comical priest. This book explains how the sea changed them. It can be read as a story of suspense, as a poem in prose, as a philosophical story, or even as an adventure novel. In any case, the furious joy of storytelling dominates in Baricco´s unparalleled writing / Hace muchos años, en medio de algún océano, una fragata de la marina francesa naufragó. 147 hombres intentaron salvarse subiendo a una enorme balsa y confiándose al mar. Un formidable escenario en el que se mostraron la peor de las crueldades y la más dulce de las piedades. Hace muchos años, a orillas de algún océano, llegó un hombre. Lo había llevado hasta allí una promesa. La posada donde se alojó se llamaba Almayer. Siete habitaciones. Todos estaban allí buscando algo, en equilibrio sobre el océano... Este libro puede leerse como una historia de suspense, como un poema en prosa, un conte philosophique, una novela de aventuras. En cualquier caso, domina la alegría furiosa de contar historias a través de una escritura y una técnica narrativa sin modelos ni antecedentes ni maestros.
