La nueva novela de Deborah Levy, finalista del Premio Booker, y la aclamada autora de El hombre que lo vio todo y El coste de vivir.

�La fuerza de Levy es su originalidad de pensamiento y expresi�n�. Jeanette Winterson

A sus treinta y cuatro a�os, la virtuosa y c�lebre pianista Elsa M. Anderson se encuentra en la c�spide de su carrera, hasta que, de forma inesperada, abandona el escenario durante una actuaci�n en Viena.

Pero esta historia en realidad empieza algo despu�s, con Elsa en Atenas, en un mercadillo, con una mujer que acaba de comprar un par de caballitos mec�nicos bailarines, una mujer extra�amente familiar con la que Elsa podr�a compartir los mismos deseos, o incluso ser la misma persona. Y sigue con un viaje a la isla de Poros, el primero destino de otros a trav�s de Europa, escapando en realidad de su talento y su pasado como ni�a prodigio, y acechada siempre por esa mujer esquiva que podr�a ser ella misma.

Seleccionado como uno de los libros del a�o en 2023 por The Guardian, Independent, Financial Times y la revista Time, Azul de agosto es el deslumbrante y melanc�lico retrato de una transformaci�n, en el que Deborah Levy, premiada con el F�mina �tranger y finalista del Booker, desvela los misteriosos caminos por los que intentamos revisar nuestras viejas historias y renovar nuestra identidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Named a Best Book of the Year by TIME, Vulture, The Guardian, BBC, The Week, and Publisher's Weekly

A new novel from the Booker Prize finalist Deborah Levy, the celebrated author of The Man Who Saw Everything and The Cost of Living.

At the height of her career, the piano virtuoso Elsa M. Anderson―former child prodigy, now in her thirties―walks off the stage in Vienna, midperformance.

Now she is in Athens, watching an uncannily familiar woman purchase a pair of mechanical dancing horses at a flea market. Elsa wants the horses too, but there are no more for sale. She drifts to the ferry port, on the run from her talent and her history.

So begins her journey across Europe, shadowed by the elusive woman who seems to be her double. A dazzling portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, Deborah Levy's August Blue uncovers the ways in which we attempt to revise our oldest stories and make ourselves anew.
