He is humble, loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated from birth to one day confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way: privileged, cunning and flawlessly trained in the martial arts.Guided by his faithful shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China - to the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing - to fulfil his destiny. But in a divided land riven by war and betrayal, his courage and his loyalties will be tested at every turn.Translated from the Chinese by Anna Holmwood(P)2019 Quercus Editions Limited

Hermosos perdedores
by Leonard CohenUna novela que sirve de hoja de ruta para recorrer los senderos de la maravillosa mente creativa de Leonard Cohen. El protagonista de Hermosos perdedores solo ha amado a tres personas en su vida, y las tres están muertas. Estableciendo un tórrido pero también sofocante triángulo pasional, Leonard Cohen retrata la red de una obsesión amorosa que orbita alrededor de la personalidad de Catherine Takakwitha, una laica católica del siglo XVII que acabó convertida en santa. Esta figura mística se une a los otros dos personajes centrales de la trama, recientemente fallecidos y que el autor no puede sino invocar: Edith, su esposa, y su gran amigo F. Leonard Cohen se consolidó como escritor con esta novela, que constituye un inmenso collage donde cada pieza explota en infinitas reminiscencias. Ensamblando con inaudita facilidad diálogos absurdos y escenas surreales con los más bellos fragmentos líricos, Hermosos perdedores es una obra carnal que utiliza la sensualidad como el mejor puente para acceder a la sabiduría más elevada. Un espléndido texto que aborda todos los temas y obsesiones que marcaron la génesis de Cohen como artista, lo que hace de esta obra un atlas imprescindible de su universo particular.

Reseñas:«Leonard Cohen es tres escritores diferentes que son el mismo poeta; sus obras pueden estar en verso, en prosa o dentro de una canción, pero siempre logran lo que consigue un buen poema: transformar las palabras en un encantamiento.»Benjamín Prado, El Mundo «En España, la editorial Lumen acaba de recuperar sus dos novelas: El juego favorito (1963) y Hermosos perdedores (1966). Magnífica decisión: había que reivindicar como prosista al responsable de canciones como Tower of Song, Avalanche o There is a War.»Jesús Fernández Úbeda, Libertad digital «Un emocionante retrato de la obsesión amorosa que giraen torno a una laica católica del siglo XVII que acabó convertida en santa. Es un texto de prosa luminosa en el que el autor deja ya huella de todas sus obsesiones y de la sensualidad de sus letras.»Pilar Manzanares, AR revista «Revisitar aquellos deliciosos libros ofrece nuevas claves para entender y disfrutar al artista canadiense.»Álvaro Soto, Colpisa «En el primer aniversario de su muerte, la editorial Lumen reedita tres de sus volúmenes: la obra de poesía Libro del anhelo y las novelas El juego favorito y Hermosos perdedores, todas ellas en una cuidadísima edición que incluye en sus portadas dibujos realizados por el propio Cohen.»Álvaro Soto, Colpisa «Dos joyas de la narrativa recién reeditadas que, ante el primer aniversario de su muerte, recuerdan cuán imperecederamente viva resulta también su prosa.»Javier Herrero, EFE «Un libro emocionante.»Sunday Times «La novela moderna más vívida, fascinante y valiente que he leído.»Michael Ondaatje «Magníficamente escrito... uno sale de él habiendo tenido terribles y hermosas visiones.»The New York Times «Brillante, explosive, una Fuente de talento... James Joyce no ha muerto, vive bajo el nombre de Cohen.»Boston Herald «Cohen asalta al lector con palabras, imágenes, pirotecnia y amor. Es un libro furioso, poético, altamente personal.»Toronto Star
