Amazon.com description: Product Description:

La novela en la que se basa la aclamada película El paciente inglés, ganadora de 9 Oscar, incluyendo el premio a la mejor película.

El final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial alcanza a cuatro personas en una villa italiana. Una joven enfermera que cuida a un enigmático hombre completamente abrasado, un rastreador de explosivos de origen sij y un cínico superviviente de la guerra irán recomponiendo sus propias identidades. Algunos de sus recuerdos viajan hasta el ardiente y desolado desierto africano para desvelarnos una intensa historia de amor. La novela fue adaptada al cine en 1996 por Anthony Minghella, convirtiéndose en una de las películas más premiadas de la historia de los Oscar, con nueve estatuillas.

Reseñas:


«Más que una novela, es una alfombra mágica que nos traslada a través de épocas y geografías... Una red de sueños extraordinarios y cautivadora.»
«El paciente inglés logra la triple corona: es profunda, bella y apasionante.»
Toni Morrison


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With unsettling beauty and intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an abandoned Italian villa at the end of World War II.
The nurse Hana, exhausted by death, obsessively tends to her last surviving patient. Caravaggio, the thief, tries to reimagine who he is, now that his hands are hopelessly maimed.
The Indian sapper Kip searches for hidden bombs in a landscape where nothing is safe but himself. And at the center of his labyrinth lies the English patient, nameless and hideously burned, a man who is both a riddle and a provocation to his companions—and whose memories of suffering, rescue, and betrayal illuminate this book like flashes of heat lightning.
