Synopsis

Ambientada en la Europa del siglo XVI, Opus nigrum narra el trágico destino de un hombre excepcional y nos hace revivir la fascinante época que va de la Edad Media al Renacimiento.

Opus nigrum, una vieja fórmula alquímica para la obtención de la Gran Obra y que también simboliza las pruebas del espíritu en su proceso de liberación, es el título elegido por Marguerite Yourcenar para trazar la vida de Zenón, personaje inspirado en el químico alemán Paracelso, el médico español Miguel Servet, el filósofo italiano Tommaso Campanella y Leonardo da Vinci.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

About the Author

Marguerite Yourcenar (Bruselas, 1903-Maine, 1987) empezó a escribir durante su aristocrática y cosmopolita adolescencia, y siguió escribiendo con prestigio creciente hasta el final de sus días. La herencia legada por su padre le permitió vivir con cierta independencia. Con la Segunda Guerra Mundial emigró a Estados Unidos, donde trabajó como profesora de Literatura. Desde entonces vivió a caballo entre una isla de Nueva Inglaterra y Francia, donde fue elegida miembro de la Academia en 1980, además de viajar extensamente. Autora fundamental del siglo XX, con novelas como Memorias de Adriano (1951) y Opus nigrum (1968), otras de formato más breve -Alexis o el tratado del inútil combate (1929) y El tiro de gracia (1939)-, numerosos ensayos -Peregrina y extranjera (1989); A beneficio de inventario (1962)-, cuatro libros de relatos -Cuento azul (1993), Fuegos (1936), Cuentos orientales (1938) y Como el agua que fluye (1982)- recogidos en Cuentos completos (Alfaguara, 2010), y varios tomos de prosa memorialística entre los que se cuenta la trilogía autobiográfica El laberinto del mundo (Alfaguara, 2012), compuesta por Recordatorios, Archivos del Norte y ¿Qué? La eternidad, ha explorado cuestiones palpitantes en el alma del ser humano, en un recorrido en el que se enlazan sin fisuras el pasado, la historia, el presente, lo lejano y lo eterno.
