El Premio Nobel de Literatura regresa con «una obra luminosa que contiene la esencia de su trayectoria, contada con sencillez. Una lectura obligada para todos» (Le Point). «Si hay un escritor que, como decía Borges de Shakespeare, podría ser todos los hombres, es sin duda Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio».—Andrés Seoane, El Cultural J. M. G. Le Clézio ha abierto su caja negra para revelarnos qué le impulsó a escribir. Primero, la imagen de los muros sobre el Mediterráneo que los alemanes levantaron en Niza para impedir a la población el acceso al mar y, después, la guerra, el hambre y las enfermedades propiciaron una singular sensibilidad para captar todo lo que ocurría. Entonces llegó su primera novela, escrita cuando tenía solo diez años: contaba la historia de un niño africano que dejaba Europa. Por entonces Le Clézio vivía en Nigeria, donde su familia se había reunido con el padre, al que él no conocía y que le ayudó a descubrir un nuevo continente, así como un nuevo destino. Conviviendo con niños africanos, en una naturaleza diferente, rica y frágil, forjó su gusto por la libertad y comenzó a perfilar una particular relación con el mundo, una mirada dirigida a los desfavorecidos y un deseo de que la escritura se transforme en acción. Una «identidad nómada», en suma, sobre la que el Premio Nobel de Literatura se sincera en estas páginas de gran intensidad, íntimas y esenciales. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Nobel Prize laureate returns with “a luminous work that holds the essence of his career, told with humility. A must read for all.” (Le Point) J. M. G. Le Clézio has opened his black box to reveal what pushed him to write. Firstly, the image of the walls the Nazis built in Nice over the Mediterranean to keep the population from reaching the ocean, and secondly, war, hunger, and disease gave him a singular sensibility to capture all that was happening. Then came his first novel, written when he was only ten years old, where he tells the story of an African boy that left Europe. Back then, Le Clézio was living in Nigeria, where his family had gone to be reunited with his father, whom he didn’t know, but who helped him discover a new continent and a new destiny. Interacting with African children in a different, rich, and fragile nature, he forged his taste for freedom and began outlining a particular relationship with the world, his gaze focused on the underprivileged and a desire to transform narrative into action. A “nomadic identity,” in sum, about which the Nobel Prize winner opens up in pages of great intensity, intimate and vital.
