> En la prosa vívida y alucinatoria de Jon Fosse, todos esos momentos habitan el mismo espacio, y los fantasmas del pasado colisionan con los vivos. Ales junto a la hoguera es una visionaria obra maestra, una inquietante exploración del amor y de la pérdida que se encuentra entre las más bellas meditaciones sobre el matrimonio y el destino humano. <p/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION <p/>From the 2023 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, a haunting masterpiece exploring love, loss, and human fate. <p/> In her old house by the fjord, Signe lies on a bench and sees a vision of herself as she was more than twenty years earlier: standing by the window waiting for her husband Asle, on that terrible late November day when he took his rowboat out onto the water and never returned. Her memories widen out to include their whole life together, and beyond: the bonds of family and the battles with implacable nature stretching back over five generations, to Asle's great-great-grandmother Aliss. In Jon Fosse's vivid, hallucinatory prose, all these moments in time inhabit the same space, and the ghosts of the past collide with those who still live on. <p/> Aliss at the Fire is a visionary masterpiece, a haunting exploration of love and loss that ranks among the greatest meditations on marriage and human fate.
