Introduction

Hace muchos anos, en medio de algun oceano, una fragata de la marina francesa naufrago. 147 hombres intentaron salvarse subiendo a una enorme balsa y confiandose al mar. Un formidable escenario en el que se mostraron la peor de las crueldades y la mas dulce de las piedades. Hace muchos anos, a orillas de algun oceano, llego un hombre. Lo habia llevado hasta alli una promesa. La posada donde se alojo se llamaba Almayer. Siete habitaciones. Todos estaban alli buscando algo, en equilibrio sobre el oceano... Este libro puede leerse como una historia de suspense, como un poema en prosa, un conte philosophique, una novela de aventuras. En cualquier caso, domina la alegria furiosa de contar historias a traves de una escritura y una tecnica narrativa sin modelos ni antecedentes ni maestros. / Many years ago a frigate of the French navy was wrecked. 147 men tried to save themselves by climbing up onto a huge rubber raft and entrusting themselves to the sea. Many years ago, on the shores of an ocean, a man arrived at a guesthouse where there lived strange children, a painter, a beautiful woman, a mysterious man, a girl who doesnt want to die, and a comical priest. This book explains how the sea changed them. It can be read as a story of suspense, as a poem in prose, as a philosophical story, or even as an adventure novel. In any case, the furious joy of storytelling dominates in Baricco´s unparalleled writing
