Story2
Japan, 1745, is a land under the iron grip of the Tokugawa shoguns. Roads are monitored, dissent stifled, and order maintained through blackmail and an extensive network of informers. Amid rumors of rebellion, Kurosawa Kinko—samurai and monk—is expelled in disgrace as the head music instructor of his Zen temple in Nagasaki. He begins an odyssey across Japan, dogged by agents and assassins from an unknown foe. Along his journey, Kinko encounters a compelling cast of merchants, ronin, courtesans, spies, warriors, hermits, and spirits, on a quest to redeem his honor.

What happens when the life you’ve built perfectly is the one you can no longer live? Sean was good at his job. He knew how to pace a slide deck, read a boardroom, and make a twenty-million-pound renewal sound like a foregone conclusion. But in the middle of a high-stakes meeting in London, the practiced mask of corporate competence finally cracked. In a single moment of uncontrolled laughter, he walked out of his career, left his laptop glowing on the table, and didn't look back.

En este viaje sentimental por Bretaña, la tierra idílica de su infancia, Le Clézio nos invita a reflexionar sobre la identidad territorial, los nacionalismos y el paso del tiempo. Desde su primer recuerdo —la explosión de una bomba en el jardín de la casa de su abuela—, pasando por los años vividos como niño de la guerra, que de forma tan terrible impactaron en su aprendizaje del mundo, el premio Nobel de Literatura dibuja una página imprescindible de su geografía emocional que habla de la pertenencia y su lugar en la memoria.
