کتاب Amulet اثر Roberto Bolaño زبان اصلی

Auxilio Lacouture is the mother of Mexican poetry. Uruguayan by birth, Mexican by destiny, the vagrant poetess serves as guardian, confidant, literary mentor, and occasional lover to a generation of Mexico City’s mad young poets, a fixture in their heady bohemian swirl. On the infamous day in 1968 when the army invades and occupies the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico to quash student protests, Auxilio is alone in the women’s bathroom of the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature, reading the poetry of Pedro Garfías on the toilet. Trapped yet defiant, she remains there for twelve days, her life’s story, past and future, pouring from her in a great deluge―and with it, a story of a lost generation, of literature, and of Latin America. Hallucinatory and prophetic, Roberto Bolaño’s Amulet is a spellbinding meditation on youth and valor, on violence and exile, on memory and history: a song of hope, and of love.

About the author

Author of 2666 and many other acclaimed works, Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and later lived in Mexico, Paris, and Spain. He has been acclaimed “by far the most exciting writer to come from south of the Rio Grande in a long time” (Ilan Stavans, The Los Angeles Times),” and as “the real thing and the rarest” (Susan Sontag). Among his many prizes are the extremely prestigious Herralde de Novela Award and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos. He was widely considered to be the greatest Latin American writer of his generation. He wrote nine novels, two story collections, and five books of poetry, before dying in July 2003 at the age of 50. Chris Andrews has won the TLS Valle Inclán Prize and the PEN Translation Prize for his Bolaño translations.
