Meet the most international Basque author, Bernardo Atxaga, at this event in Spanish.
About this Event

The Basque writer Bernardo Atxaga will present one of his most beloved books, Desde el otro lado, at the Instituto Cervantes in Dublin, at his event in Spanish. Atxaga will also read from his most recent book, Exteriores del paraíso.

Desde el otro lado (Alfaguara, 2022) brings together four narratives by the author that seem to be told by voices emanating from nature itself. In this book pulses the best of Atxaga, who moves his readers with stories that tell a single story, ours. Alongside life, there is also room for the fantastic, for what happens in the margins that separate reality from dream, from hallucination, or from revelation.

Exteriores del paraíso (Cuatro lunas, 2023) is a peculiar book in which the reader will travel from melancholic narration to a poem that makes one laugh, from the tale of a unique public reading to an autobiographical note. Beyond its variety, it is a book with an orderly and clear structure that shares the same undercurrent: Love, Fear, and Death.

Bernardo Atxaga: Born in Asteasu in 1951, his real name is Jose Irazu. Among his notable works are Obabakoak, Lone Man, The Accordionist's Son (Grinzane Cavour Award and Mondello Prize), Seven Houses in France, Nevada Days, Water Over Stones, Desde el otro lado, and Exteriores del paraíso. He has received numerous awards including the Basque Prize (1989); National Prize for Narrative (1989); Marsh Award (2015); National Prize for Spanish Literature (2019); LIBER Award (2021); Ostana Prize (2023). His work has been adapted into film and theatre and is available in 36 languages. He has been a member of the Academy of the Basque Language since 2006.

El escritor vasco Bernardo Atxaga presentará en el Instituto Cervantes de Dublín, uno de sus libros más queridos, Desde el otro lado, y leerá de su libro más reciente, Exteriores del paraíso. El encuentro se desarrollará en español.

Desde el otro lado (Alfaguara, 2022) reúne cuatro narraciones del autor que parecen estar contadas por voces que proceden de la propia naturaleza. En este libro late el mejor Atxaga, el que emociona a sus lectores con unos relatos que cuentan una única historia, la nuestra, la de todos los que hemos sido, somos y seremos, y en los que, junto a la vida, tienen cabida también lo fantástico, lo que sucede en los márgenes que separan la realidad del sueño, de la alucinación o de la revelación.

Exteriores del paraíso (Cuatro lunas, 2023) es un libro diferente en el que el lector viajará de la narración melancólica al poema que hace reír, del relato de una lectura pública singular al apunte autobiográfico. Más allá de su variedad, es un libro de estructura ordenada y clara que comparten un mismo fondo: el Amor, el Miedo y la Muerte.

Bernardo Atxaga: Nacido en Asteasu en 1951, su verdadero nombre es Jose Irazu. Entre sus libros destacan Obabakoak, El hombre solo, El hijo del acordeonista (Premio Grinzane Cavour y Premio Mondello), Siete casas en Francia, Días de Nevada, Casas y tumbas, Desde el otro lado y Exteriores del paraíso. Premio Euskadi (1989); Premio Nacional de Narrativa (1989); Premio Marsh (2015); Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas (2019); Premio LIBER (2021); Premio Ostana (2023). Su obra ha sido llevada al cine y al teatro, y puede leerse en 36 lenguas. Es miembro de la Academia de la Lengua Vasca desde el año 2006.
