Synopsis "La edad de hierro (in Spanish)"

Emocionante y hondo relato sobre la historia de una mujer Sudafricana a punto de morir de cáncer.« La edad de hierro es una novela de una belleza rara, diría incluso que existe la extraña necesidad de esta novela.» Jordi Llovet, El País «Este hombre es una de las voces más importantes de la actual Sudáfrica. Gran literatura. Para mí ha sido el descubrimiento del año. Libro triste donde los haya, ideal para pasar una buena gripe, su lectura te hunde de tal modo que una vez tocado fondo sólo puedes tirar para arriba. En serio, Coetzee es un escritor fuera de serie, y la novela nos da una visión estremecedora y cotidiana de Sudáfrica. Ese país donde todos sabemos que las cosas están mal, pero que parece importarnos tan poco.» Pedro Almodóvar, sobre Desgracia
