Synopsis "Ishiguro, k: The Buried Giant (Vintage International) "

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize-winning novel The Remains of the Day comes a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory. In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven't seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.

Kazuo Ishiguro (Kazuo Ishiguro OBE, nacido el 8 de noviembre de 1954 en Nagasaki, Japón) es un novelista británico de origen japonés, reconocido por su estilo sobrio y su exploración de la memoria, el tiempo y la identidad. Se trasladó al Reino Unido en su infancia y estudió en la Universidad de Kent y la Universidad de East Anglia. Desde su debut con A Pale View of Hills (1982), ha construido una obra literaria marcada por narradores introspectivos y estructuras cuidadosamente contenidas, consolidándose como una figura clave de la literatura contemporánea.

Es autor de novelas ampliamente reconocidas como The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go y Klara and the Sun, en las que combina elementos realistas con sutiles incursiones en lo distópico o especulativo. En 2017 recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura, destacando su capacidad para revelar “el abismo bajo nuestro sentido ilusorio de conexión con el mundo”. Su obra ha sido traducida a numerosos idiomas y varias de sus novelas han sido adaptadas al cine, reforzando su impacto cultural a nivel global.
