Hardback. Zustand: Good. A stunning novel of the present moment that takes us into the hearts and minds of those who use terrorism as an ideal and a way of life, and those who aspire to the frightening power of wealth. Abandoning a life he felt was not his own, Willie Chandran (the hero of Half a Life) moves to Berlin where his sister's radical political awakening inspires him to join a liberation movement in India. There, in the jungles and dirt-poor small villages, through months of secrecy and night marches, Willie -- a solitary, inward man -- discovers both the idealism and brutality of guerilla warfare. When he finally escapes the movement, he is imprisoned for the murder of three policemen. Released unexpectedly on condition he return to England, he attempts to climb back into life in the West, but his experience of wealth, love and despair in London only bedevils him further. Magic Seeds is a moving tale of a man searching for his life and fearing he has wasted it, and a testing study of the conflicts between the rich and the poor, and the struggles within each. Its spare, elegant prose sizzles with devastating psychological analysis, bleak humour and astonishing characters. Only V. S. Naipaul could have written a novel so attuned to the world and so much a challenge to it. From the Hardcover edition.…

Zustand: Very Good. : Magic Seeds es una novela del premio Nobel V. S. Naipaul que continúa la historia de Willie Chandran, el protagonista perpetuamente insatisfecho y destructivamente ingenuo de su exitosa novela Half a Life. Después de dejar a su esposa y un medio de vida en África, Willie es persuadido de regresar a su India natal para unirse a un movimiento clandestino en nombre de sus castas oprimidas. En cambio, se encuentra en compañía de diletantes y psicópatas, implacablemente perseguido por la policía y rechazado por las personas que pretende liberar. Pero esta es solo una parada en una búsqueda de autenticidad que abarca todo el fanatismo y la locura de la era posmoderna. Moviéndose con rapidez onírica desde el campamento guerrillero hasta la celda de la prisión, desde el sórdido entorno de la India rural hasta la abundancia y la desolación moral del Londres de los años 80, Magic Seeds es una novela de poder oracular, deslumbrante en su economía e implacable en sus observaciones.
