Synopsis "Abandon "

Pico Iyer’s intoxicating new novel is at once a stylish intellectual mystery and a pulse-quickening love story—the love in question being at once sacred and profane.John Macmillan, a classically reticent Englishman who has moved to California to study the poems of the Sufi mystic Rumi, unexpectedly becomes involved in two equally absorbing quests. The first is for a mysterious Rumi manuscript that may have been smuggled out of Iran; the second for the elusive Camilla Jensen, who continually offers herself to him only to repeatedly slip from his grasp. Are these quests somehow related? And can Macmillan give himself over to them without losing his career and identity?Moving deftly from California academia to the mosques of Iran, filled with insights into the minds of Islam and the modern West, Abandon is a magic carpet-ride of a book.

View Author's Page
Pico Iyer es un ensayista y novelista británico nacido en Oxford y criado entre Inglaterra y California, reconocido por su estilo contemplativo y su enfoque en temas como el viaje, la espiritualidad y el sentido de pertenencia en un mundo globalizado. Con una formación académica en Oxford y Harvard, ha escrito extensamente para medios internacionales y se ha convertido en una voz singular que explora los cruces entre culturas, identidades y geografías.

Su obra literaria abarca tanto ensayos como narrativas de viaje, en las que reflexiona sobre la vida interior y la búsqueda de significado en tiempos modernos. Ejemplo de su obra: The Half Known Life: In Search of Paradise. En este libro reciente, Iyer examina la idea de paraíso desde múltiples tradiciones y territorios, enlazando filosofía, historia y experiencia personal. Su prosa invita a detenerse, mirar hacia dentro y reconsiderar lo que significa estar en movimiento en el mundo actual.
