Synopsis "Suttree (Spanish Edition) (in Spanish)"

Premio Pulitzer 2007 por La carretera

Con la historia de Suttree, Cormac McCarthy explora la existencia en sus formas más rudas y hace una reflexión sobre la identidad y la ausencia de propósitos en la vida.

Knoxville, Tennessee, década de 1950. La novela relata algunos años de la vida del héroe que da nombre a la novela, Cornelius Suttree, un hombre que deja atrás su vida de familia acomodada, abandona a su mujer y se compra una barcaza, en la que vivirá, para convertirse en pescador uniéndose a una banda de vagabundos, ladrones, prostitutas, jugadores y demás parias cuya vida transcurre entre la mera supervivencia y una muerte sórdida.

El protagonista comparte los rasgos tradicionales de los héroes de McCarthy: es un solitario impenitente, acaba presa de un aislamiento que nunca se explica del todo y el momento de la vida en que se encuentra se describe con una crudeza y una intensidad poética que elude todo análisis. Así, la vida de Cornelius Suttree se convierte en el relato de una vida anónima, sin compromisos, que explora la existencia en sus formas más rudas de un modo que no está exento de lirismo, para acabar convirtiéndose en una reflexión sobre la identidad y la ausencia de propósitos en la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Suttree is Cormac McCarthy's 1979 semi-autobiographical novel set in 1950s Knoxville, Tennessee.

From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road, here is the story of Cornelius Suttree, a man from a privileged background who rejects his family, wife, and son to live as a fisherman on a dilapidated houseboat along the Tennessee River near Knoxville.

Remaining credible to the reader while retaining his raw and uncompromising voice, McCarthy gives us an epic that is tender and fierce, somber and sometimes comic—eloquent testimony to the unregenerate human spirit.

(Rhode Island, 1933 - 2023 New Mexico) spent much of his childhood in Knoxville, Tennessee, where his first four novels are set. By 1965, he began to attract international critical attention with The Orchard Keeper, for which he won the Faulkner Award.

He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Road and the National Book Award for All the Pretty Horses. He is considered one of the four major American novelists of his time. His dense prose is categorized within the Southern Gothic genre for its stylistic complexity and the darkness and violence it presents. His books Outer Dark, Child of God, and Suttree, have been compared to the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.
