Synopsis "An Unreliable man"

From the creative genius of Jostein Gaarder, author of modern classic Sophie's World, comes a novel about loneliness and the power of words Jakop is a lonely man. Divorced from his wife, with no friends apart from his constant companion Pelle, he spends his life attending the funerals of people he doesn't know, obscuring his identity in a web of improbable lies. As his addiction spirals out of control, he is forced to reconcile his love of language and stories with the ever more urgent need for human connection. An Unreliable Man is a moving and thought-provoking novel about loneliness and truth, about seeking a place in the world, and about how storytelling gives our lives meaning. Decades after his global bestseller Sophie's World, Jostein Gaarder has written a poignant and funny book for our times - full of life and hope.

Jostein Gaarder (Oslo, 1952) fue profesor de Filosofía y de Historia de las Ideas en un instituto de Bergen durante diez años. En 1986 empezó a publicar libros, y en 1990 recibió el Premio de la Crítica y el Premio literario del Ministerio de Cultura noruegos por su novela El misterio del solitario. Pero fue El mundo de Sofía la obra que se convirtió en un auténtico bestseller mundial y que ha sido galardonada en España con los premios Arzobispo Juan de San Clemente y Conde de Barcelona.

Gaarder creó la Fundación Sofía, cuyo premio anual dotaba económicamente a la mejor labor innovadora a favor del medioambiente y el desarrollo. Entre su extensa obra cabe destacar, además de las novelas ya mencionadas, El diagnóstico, El misterio de Navidad, El enigma del espejo, Vita brevis, Maya, El vendedor de cuentos, La joven de las naranjas y El hombre de las marionetas.
