Críticas:
Mo Yan is "one of the most famous, oft-banned and widely pirated of all Chinese writers. (Time)
A wildly visceral and creative novel, constantly mocking and rearranging itself and jolting the reader with its own internal commentary . . . A vast, cruel, and complex story. (The New York Times Book)
Reseña del editor:
A wildly visceral and creative novel, constantly mocking and rearranging itself and jolting the reader with its own internal commentary . . . A vast, cruel, and complex story. (The New York Times Book)
Today's most revered, feared, and controversial Chinese novelist offers a tour de force in which the real, the absurd, the comical, and the tragic are blended into a fascinating read. The hero-or antihero-of Mo Yan's ovel is Ximen Nao, a landowner known for his generosity and kindness and benevolence to his peasants. However, during Mao's Land Reform Movement of 1948, he is not only stripped of his land and worldly possessions but cruelly executed, despite his protestations of innocence. The novel opens in Hell, where Lord Yama, king of the underworld, has Ximen Nao tortured endlessly in order to force a confession of guilt from him. When his efforts remain fruitless, Lord Yama allows Ximen Nao to return to earth, where he is reborn not as a human, but first as a donkey, then a horse, a pig, a monkey, and, finally, the big-headed boy Lan Qiansui. Through the eyes of animal and boy, Ximen Nao takes us on a deliriously unique journey through fifty years of peasant history in China, right to the edge of the new millennium. Here is an absolutely riveting tale that reveals the author's love of a homeland beset by ills inevitable, political, and traditional.
