About the Book
"Trilogy is Jon Fosse's critically acclaimed, luminous love story about Asle and Alida, two lovers trying to find their place in this world. Homeless and sleepless, they wander around Bergen in the rain, trying to make a life for themselves and the child they expect. Through a rich web of historical, cultural, and theological allusions, Fosse constructs a modern parable of injustice, resistance, crime, and redemption. Consisting of three novellas (Vigilia, Los suñeos de Olav, Desaliento), Trilogy is a haunting, mysterious, and poignant evocation of love, for which Fosse received The Nordic Council's Prize for Literature in 2015"--Book Synopsis
"Fosse ha sido comparado con Ibsen ó Beckett. Es fácil ver en su obra la austeridad con la que Ibsen trata las emociones más esenciales, pero va más allá, porque su voz tiene una feroz simplicidad poética" - New York TimesPara Jon Fosse escribir es como rezar, y para sus lectores, Trilogía es la puerta para entrar en una profundidad desconocida. Con un lenguaje sencillo y un narrador único, Fosse narra la historia de una pareja de adolescentes que van a tener un hijo e intentan sobrevivir sin ayuda en un mundo hostil.
Es una historia que permite entender la indefensión y nos hace conscientes sobre la mirada despiadada de la sociedad. Pero también revive de forma exquisita el primer amor, la experiencia de comenzar la vida. Una obra emocional que, desde la oscuridad de una situación extrema, ilumina a quien la aborda.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
place in this world.
Homeless and sleepless, Asle and Alida wander around Bergen
in the rain, trying to make a life for themselves and the child they
expect. Through a rich web of historical, cultural, and theological
allusions, Fosse constructs a modern parable of injustice,
resistance, crime, and redemption. He showcases what it means
to be destitute, as well as captures the exquisite nature of a first
love, and the hope that comes with starting a new life.
Consisting of three novellas, Trilogía is a haunting, mysterious,
and poignant evocation of love from the 2023 Nobel Prize in
Literature.
