Albert Cohen, a Bulgarian exile in Israel, returns to Bulgaria for a few days for a conference, and the encounter with his hometown and the people he hasn’t seen for years reminds him of a world long gone. His most intense memory is of his grandfather, the unforgettable Abraham the Drunk—master tinsmith, genius storyteller, and witness to the end of an era—, whose figure will allow him to remember some of the most important episodes from his childhood. However, his reveries will be interrupted by some unavoidable events in the present: a dark attempt at land speculation, an encounter with a former lover, and the conflict in the Middle East. This new novel by Angel Wagenstein—author of
Isaac’s Torah
and
Farewell, Shanghai
—is a no-holds-barred portrayal of contemporary Bulgaria and an ode to a rich past.
Albert Cohen, un búlgaro exiliado en Israel, regresa por unos días a Bulgaria para un congreso, y el reencuentro con su ciudad natal y con la gente que lleva años sin ver le hace recordar un mundo desaparecido. El recuerdo más intenso es el de su abuelo, el inolvidable Abraham el Borrachón—maestro hojalatero, fabulador genial y testigo del final de una época—, cuya figura le permitirá revivir algunos de los episodios más importantes de su infancia. Sin embargo, su ensoñación se verá interrumpida por algunos ineludibles reclamos del presente: un oscuro intento de especulación inmobiliaria, el encuentro con un antiguo amor y el conflicto de Oriente Próximo. Esta nueva novela de Angel Wagenstein—autor de
El Pentateuco de Isaac
y de
Adiós, Shanghai
—es un retrato sin concesiones de la Bulgaria contemporánea y un canto a su riquísimo pasado.
