Thirst (in English)
Amélie Nothomb
Synopsis "Thirst (in English)"
In her twenty-eighth novel in as many years, best-selling Belgian novelist and international literary superstar Amélie Nothomb takes on a story for the ages: the life of Jesus. In a first-person voice as droll and irreverent as it is wise, Nothomb narrates Jesus's final days, from his trial to his crucifixion to the resurrection. Amid asides about his relationships with his mother and Judas, his love for Mary Magdalene, and his many miracles, we find a man struggling with his humanity and his exceptional nature, straddling the line between human and deity, the son of a formless, omnipotent creator in the fallible form of a man.
(Kobe, Japón, 1967) Fabienne Claire Nothomb, más conocida como Amélie Nothomb, es una escritora belga miembro de la Real Academia de la lengua y de la literatura francesas de Bélgica. Aunque proviene de una antigua familia de Bruselas, pasó su infancia y adolescencia en Extremo Oriente, principalmente en China y Japón, donde su padre fue embajador; en la actualidad reside en París. Desde su primera novela, Higiene del asesino, se ha convertido en una de las autoras en lengua francesa más populares y con mayor proyección internacional. En 2006 se le otorgó el Premio Cultural Leteo por el conjunto de su obra, y en 2008 el Gran Premio Jean Giono, asimismo por el conjunto de su obra.
