The collection begins next Sunday, October 17, with ‘Cinco esquinas’, by Mario Vargas Llosa.
EL PAÍS has created a library with authors who have deserved the highest award in the modern literary world such as José Saramago, Gabriel García Márquez, Ernest Hemingway, Doris Lessing, Thomas Mann, and William Faulkner. This selection is made up of 25 deluxe edition works bound in hardcover.
Vargas Llosa inaugurates the collection, but right after comes “Desgracia,” by J. M Coetzee. The South African novelist received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003, and the Swedish Academy described his narrative as "infused with brilliance and intellectual honesty not prone to compromise." Until then, Coetzee had tried to remain anonymous, declining even to collect prizes, as it happened with the UK Booker Prize received by “Desgracia.” The work presents the drift of a teacher, twice divorced, when the relationship with one of his female students is uncovered.
