Product Details
Overview
Rusia interior, años treinta. Un grupo de obreros excava los cimientos de un edificio monumental destinado a albergar el futuro socialista perfecto. Cuanto más trabajan y más profundamente cavan, más se desmorona el proyecto, hasta que el lugar comienza a parecerse a una tumba colectiva. Escrita como respuesta directa a las brutalidades de la colectivización estalinista, La zanja es la novela más abiertamente política de Platónov y una obra maestra indiscutible del siglo XX. En su intento por expresar lo indecible, el autor retuerce el lenguaje y lo transforma, reflejando tanto la violencia del discurso oficial como la desnuda dureza de la vida cotidiana. Esta edición incluye el texto definitivo del autor, un esclarecedor posfacio de Robert Chandler y Olga Meerson, y fragmentos inéditos suprimidos por el propio Platónov.
Inner Russia, 1930s. A group of workers digs the foundations of a monumental building meant to house the perfect socialist future. The harder they work and the deeper they dig, the more the project collapses, until the site begins to resemble a vast collective grave. Written as a direct response to the brutalities of Stalinist collectivization, The Foundation Pit is Platonov’s most overtly political novel and an undisputed masterpiece of twentieth-century literature. In his attempt to give voice to the unspeakable, Platonov bends and fractures language itself, capturing both the violence of official discourse and the stark simplicity of everyday life. This edition includes the author’s definitive text, an illuminating afterword by Robert Chandler and Olga Meerson, and previously suppressed fragments.
