First American Edition, 2008, 1st printing. Translated by Natasha Wimmer. Pristine, clean & tight paperback copies, unread in AS NEW condition, in cool cardboard slipcase. "[Bolano]'s masterwork--An often shockingly raunchy and violent tour de force (though the phrase seems hardly adequate to describe the novel's narrative velocity, polyphonic range, inventiveness, and bravery) based in part on the still unsolved murders of hundreds of women in Ciudad Juarez, in the Sonora Desert of Mexico."--Francisco Goldman. Published simultaneously with the hardcover in a limited print run. "Not just the great Spanish-language novel of this decade, but one of the cornerstones that define an entire literature."---J.A. Masoliver Rodenas. "Bolano's feverish, vertiginous novel opens with an epigraph from Baudelaire--'An oasis of horror in a desert of boredom'--and then proceeds, over the course of some 900 pages, to call into being an entire world governed in equal parts by boredom and the deepest horror. The book (published posthumously) is divided into five loosely conjoined sections, following characters who are drawn for varying reasons to the fictional Mexican city of Santa Teresa: a group of academics obsessed with an obscure novelist, a doddering philosophy professor, a lovelorn police officer and an American reporter investigating the serial murders of women in a case with echoes of the real-life femicide that has plagued Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. In Natasha Wimmer's spotless translation, Bolano's novel is profound, mysterious, teeming and giddy: Reading it, you go from feeling like a tornado watcher to feeling swept up in the vortex, and finally suspect you might be the tornado yourself."--NYT 100 Best Books. This First American Edition in a simultaneous 3 softcover volumes slipcase is in pristine condition, quite presentable & collectible. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB554
Rare Book
Présentation de l'éditeur: 2666 est le dernier roman écrit par Roberto Bolano. Il a été publié de manière posthume en 2004 et aussitôt salué par la critique internationale. De l'Europe en ruines jusqu'au désert du Sonora à la frontière du Mexique et du Texas, hanté par les meurtres non résolus de centaines de femmes, 2666 offre un parcours abyssal à travers une culture et une civilisation en déroute. L'entreprise de Bolano est ambitieuse. Embrassant tous les genres, du vaudeville au récit de guerre, en passant par le policier, le fantastique et le comique, 2666 étreint la littérature et incarne ce qu'elle a de plus essentiel : relever le défi de dire l'horreur, la mort, l'absence de sens, mais aussi l'amour. "Qu'est-ce qui fait une écriture de qualité? Savoir s'immerger dans la noirceur, savoir sauter dans le vide et comprendre que la littérature constitue un appel fondamentalement dangereux. " (Roberto Bolano, discours d'acceptation du Prix Romulo Gallegos, 1999)
