Synopsis "Never let me go "

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is. Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

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.
