"Jon Fosse es uno de los pocos escritores que ha conseguido inventar una nueva forma literaria". - Nordic Council Literary Prize

¿Cómo llegamos a conocernos? ¿Qué significan los otros en nuestras vidas?

Asle, un pintor viudo que vive solo en un fiordo noruego, observa su vida entera con la mirada fija en el flujo del mar. No se trata de la nostalgia de un recuerdo, se trata de una observación meticulosa que busca dónde ha fallado.

Ha sufrido la adicción, la incomprensión de una sociedad cerrada y su propia oscuridad como artista, pero es el amor hacia Ales lo que le obliga a ir más allá del mundo más cercano.

Septología es una apasionante novela sobre el sentido de la existencia escrita con una voz hipnótica y única. Un libro que pasará a la historia por su representación de la consciencia.

"Tengo que ir hasta los límites de mi mente y cruzarlos. Cruzar los límites da mucho miedo cuando sientes que eres muy frágil".
Jon Fosse, The New Yorker.

"Para mí no hay duda de que existe una estrecha conexión entre el pensamiento del maestro Eckhart, mi principal influencia católica, y las formas de pensar budistas".
Jon Fosse, La Marea.

"En esta gran obra, que será un clásico, Jon Fosse va más allá de la memoria y el flujo de consciencia. Con un narrador nuevo, es capaz de representar el momento de la consciencia, cuando el ser humano observa el mundo exterior y su relación con él".
Silvia Bardelás, editora de Septología.

Esta edición recopila los tres volúmenes que componen Septología, la gran obra de Jon Fosse: El otro nombre, Yo es otro y Un nuevo nombre.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life
and not another?

Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the
southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only
friends are his neighbour, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer,
and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin,
lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by
alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgängers--two versions of the
same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with
existential questions about death, love, light and shadow, faith
and hopelessness.

The three volumes of Jon Fosse's Septología -- El otro nombre,
Yo es otro and Un nuevo nombre -- are a transcendent
exploration of the human condition, and a radical reading
experience--incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.

Well Worth the Lengthy Read
Format: Paperback
Enjoyed this book. Ron Chernow writes well, captures personalities and researches extensively. I went to Woodlands High School on an estate donated by the family. These were brilliant people who stood by their values and convictions while facing anti-semitism with grace and courage.

A brilliant family, cultural and business history
Format: Kindle
What starts out as the personal and business history of a deeply religious and close family, expands into a study of the disintegration and continued importance of family, religious and cultural ties, the sources of anti-semitism and a window into some of the most dramatic moments of war and peace in the 20th century. Brilliantly researched, and interestingly written, it touches on topic after topic of importance, without pretence, and without either glorifying or deprecating the many contributions of the many Warburg family members it follows. Deserving of some high award, for sure!

Wow ! What a great read
Format: Hardcover
I've read most of Ron Chernows books and they all are just overpowering. The history that you will learn is astounding, and it comes to you as a wonderfully told story. The Warburgs, will put the pieces of the history puzzle together from pre-WWI Germany to the Treaty of Versailles, WWII, post-WWII Germany, plus Warburg involvement with the creation of the current US Central Bank and service on the board of the Federal Reserve. The story covers the split of the family telling the stories of those who remained in Germany some of whom suffered death in the Holocaust, while others lost wealth, position, and sanity yet one remained relatively unscathed building a library of great works while in Germany through Hitler"s reign. The journey of the family is a European, American, and Anglo journey, of a family that prospered and suffered and prospered again leaving it's mark on history for the last three centuries, and still survives.

Very well researched, most informative and extremely well written.
Format: Hardcover
A talented writer, to say the least, Mr. Chernow seemed to research this remarkable book with the aim of painlessly educating even the most reluctant reader about an international banking family. He writes so well that this tome is a page turner: hard to put down, not the least boring even when the focus is on economics--the dismal science, as it is called--and helps one understand why many German Jews were heartbroken to leave Germany even during Hitler's regime. The Warburgs were an outstanding family with energy that seemed to know no bounds though some family members were stricken with diabetes, psychological illnesses and even poverty at times. Amazing! I highly recommend this wonderful book.
