En octubre de 1940, el apuesto David Sparsholt llega como estudiante a la elitista universidad de Oxford. Él no pertenece a la clase alta, pero trabará amistad con un grupo de jóvenes de posición más elevada que han montado un club literario al que pretenden invitar a reputados escritores como Orwell, Stephen Spender, Rebecca West o el padre de uno de ellos, A. V. Dax. Su hijo, Evert Dax, será uno de los amigos que se sentirán atraídos por el magnetismo de Sparsholt, en una época en que la homosexualidad debía vivirse de un modo clandestino. Mientras Londres sufre el infierno del Blitz y el futuro del país resulta incierto, Oxford es una suerte de limbo donde los jóvenes exploran los placeres de la cultura, la amistad y el deseo, sabedores de que en cualquier momento los pueden llamar a filas. Pero este es solo el arranque de esta vasta y ambiciosísima novela, que recorre más de medio siglo de vida británica y llega hasta nuestros días a través de tres generaciones, componiendo un deslumbrante fresco histórico. Porque Sparsholt se casará y tendrá un hijo, Johnny, que se convertirá en un prestigioso pintor especializado en retratos, mantendrá una relación amorosa con un joven francés y después tendrá una hija llamada Lucy... Y junto a ellos irá apareciendo un amplio abanico de personajes que reflejan los cambios de actitudes, costumbres, estructuras sociales y moral sexual de una sociedad. Escrita con una prosa elegante y envolvente, y una perspicaz capacidad de observación de las actitudes humanas y la intimidad de las personas, esta novela vuelve a demostrar el inmenso talento literario de Alan Hollinghurst, uno de los escritores imprescindibles de la actual narrativa británica.

Em outubro de 1940, o jovem David Sparsholt chega a Oxford. Elegante, atlético e carismático, parece não ter noção do efeito que provoca nos outros, particularmente em Evert Dax, filho solitário de um escritor célebre. Enquanto Londres é devastada pelo Blitz, Oxford como que paira numa névoa de alheamento e incerteza, e as noites de blackout parecem encorajar e encobrir encontros que, em tempos normais, seriam impossíveis. Ao longo deste período conturbado, David e Evert forjam uma amizade improvável que vai uni-los ao longo de décadas. Retrato magistral de um grupo de amigos unidos durante três gerações pela arte, pela literatura e pelo amor, O Caso Sparsholt explora anos cruciais do século XX, cujas consequências se estendem aos dias de hoje. Uma obra-prima pela mão de um dos mais brilhantes escritores de língua inglesa da atualidade.

«Es muy probable que la literatura nazca, en gran medida, del viaje, del relato que el nómada compartía alrededor del fuego. El relato del viajero está seguramente en el origen de la ficción narrativa», dice Marta Salís en la presentación de esta antología. Fuente tan antigua como inagotable de epopeyas, novelas, poemas y cuentos, la experiencia del viaje −aventurarse y conocer− es la materia de los sesenta y cinco relatos aquí reunidos, que cubren un arco temporal de casi tres siglos de la tradición occidental. Sea cual sea el medio de locomoción –en burro, en barco, en tren, en globo, en nave espacial−, o su motivo y propósito –exploración, conquista, placer, trabajo, necesidad, liberación−, rara vez el viaje abandona su dimensión simbólica: desde antiguo se presenta como una alegoría de la vida humana y ha sido por tanto, un pretexto, una especie de escenario móvil, para plantear dilemas de identidad, tribulaciones psíquicas, conflictos sociales, valores culturales en entredicho, visiones políticas... De Jonathan Swift a Alan Hollinghurst, Viajeros ofrece una rica variedad de tratamientos y puntos de vista, de la mano de autores como Voltaire, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Jules Verne, Guy de Maupassant, Antón P. Chéjov, Edith Wharton, Ramón María del Valle-Inclán, Katherine Mansfield, Isaak E. Bábel, Johannes V. Jensen, Cesare Pavese, Jane y Paul Bowles, Flannery O’Connor, Langston Hughes, Juan Rulfo, Margaret Drabble y Clarice Lispector, entre muchos otros.

In 1940, the handsome, athletic, and charismatic David Sparsholt arrives at Oxford University to study engineering, unaware of his effect on others—especially on Evert Dax, the lonely son of a celebrated novelist who is destined to become a writer himself. Spanning three generations, The Sparsholt Affair plumbs the ways the friendship between these two men will influence their lives—and the lives of others’—for decades to come. Richly observed and emotionally charged, this is a dazzling novel of fathers and sons, of family and legacy, and of the longing for permanence amid life’s inevitable transience.

The 1995 Booker Prize finalist. Alan Hollinghurst's hypnotic and exquisitely written novel tells the story of Edward Manners, a disaffected 33-year-old who leaves England to earn his living as a language tutor in a Flemish city. Almost immediately he falls in love with one of his pupils, but can only console himself with other, illicit affairs. With this novel, Hollinghurst exposes us fearlessly to the consequences of unfulfillable, annihilating desire.

A century-spanning saga about a love triangle that spawns a myth, and a family mystery, across generations. With an introduction by Anthony Quinn. The Stranger's Child was a Sunday Times Novel of the Year. In the late summer of 1913, George Sawle brings his Cambridge friend Cecil Valance, a charismatic young poet, to visit his family home. The weekend will be one of excitements and confusions for everyone, but it is on George’s sixteen-year-old sister Daphne that it will have the most lasting impact. As the decades pass, Daphne and those around her endure startling changes in fortune and circumstance and, as reputations rise and fall, the events of that long-ago summer become part of a legendary story. Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, The Stranger’s Child is Hollinghurst’s masterly exploration of English culture, taste and attitudes. Epic in sweep, it intimately portrays a luminous but changing world and the ways memory – and myth – can be built and broken. It is a powerful and utterly absorbing modern classic.

"The "spell" of the title is both the power of drugs, at the heart of the book, and the "sex-magic" that variously possesses - but then deserts - each of its main characters." -- The Guardian Discover this ‘sparkling celebration of sexual intrigue’ (Telegraph, London) from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of Beauty. The Spell is a comedy of sexual manners that follows the interlocking affairs of four men: Robin, an architect in his late forties, who is trying to build an idyllic life in Dorset with his younger lover, Justin; Robin's 22 year old son Danny, a volatile beauty who lives for clubbing and casual sex; and the shy Alex, who is Justin's ex-boyfriend. As each in turn falls under the spell of romance or drugs, country living or rough trade, a richly ironic picture emerges of the clashing imperatives of modern gay life. At once lyrical, sceptical and romantic, The Spell confirms Alan Hollinghurst as one of Britain's most important novelists.
