Synopsis "Black Leopard red Wolf "

"A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made." --Neil Gaiman The epic novel, an African Game of Thrones, from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven KillingsIn the stunning first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star trilogy, myth, fantasy, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child. Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard.As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying?Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.

Marlon James es un escritor jamaiquino, nacido en Kingston en 1970, reconocido como una de las voces más potentes y originales de la literatura contemporánea en lengua inglesa. Estudió Lengua y Literatura Inglesa en la Universidad de las Indias Occidentales y posteriormente obtuvo una maestría en Escritura Creativa en la Universidad Wilkes, en Estados Unidos. Antes de dedicarse por completo a la escritura, trabajó durante varios años como profesor.

Alcanzó reconocimiento internacional con la novela A Brief History of Seven Killings (Breve historia de siete asesinatos), obra con la que ganó el Man Booker Prize en 2015. Esta novela, ambiciosa y polifónica, recrea la violencia política y social de Jamaica en los años setenta, mezclando historia, ficción, múltiples voces narrativas y un lenguaje crudo y experimental. Otras obras destacadas de su narrativa son John Crow’s Devil, The Book of Night Women y la trilogía fantástica Dark Star, que reinterpreta mitologías africanas desde una perspectiva moderna.

La escritura de Marlon James se caracteriza por su intensidad, complejidad estructural y exploración de temas como el poder, la violencia, la identidad, la sexualidad y la herencia colonial. Actualmente reside en Estados Unidos, donde también ejerce como profesor universitario y continúa desarrollando una obra literaria influyente y provocadora.
