O lendário baú de Fernando Pessoa guardava mais de 25 mil páginas de manuscritos inéditos. Entre poemas, textos filosóficos e escritos de seus heterônimos, estavam também fragmentos do Livro do Desassossego, obra-prima publicada apenas em 1982, quase meio século após sua morte.

El escritor británico Julian Barnes ha sido galardonado con el premio Princesa de Asturias de las Letras 2026. Celebramos esta distinción que consideramos merecida. Barnes es depositario de una genuino estilo, muy británico por su flema y su sentido del humor, a la que vez que indaga con acierto en las descripciones de los personajes, tan variados como la condición humana. A veces, es un autor lento, de lectura pausada, como en su último libro a modo de despedida. Nos gusta particularmente "El sentido de un final".
¿Habéis leído alguno de sus libros?, ¿qué os parece?

“When you ask me to talk about my true memories, they’re covered over by the fictional versions of them that have been in my mind since the day I wrote the books. This makes it hard to distinguish.” —Gerald Murnane buff.ly/baUnUWa

“How much do we, as queer children, hesitate to be seen as artists, from having been hurt because of our difference? Why would we not feel that it was dangerous to put ourselves forward?” —Hilton Als buff.ly/F12x7Vd

Alice Rohrwacher is set to direct a film adaptation of Italo Calvino’s coming-of-age novel “The Baron in the Trees.”
