Gao Xingjian è un romanziere, drammaturgo e pittore di origine cinese il cui lavoro si addentra nelle profondità dell'esistenza umana, dell'identità e della libertà nel panorama della società moderna. La sua scrittura esplora spesso temi universali, impiegando un linguaggio minimalista ma evocativo che unisce le tradizioni letterarie orientali e occidentali. La voce distintiva e le profonde intuizioni di Gao gli sono valse il riconoscimento come figura letteraria e artistica di rilievo.

La literatura es para Gao la voz de un individuo, la expresión de su sentimiento de existir, el resultado de una visión personal del mundo. El autor no pretende explicar el mundo: sencillamente, halla la libertad en la escritura. Entre los textos del presente libro se encuentran La huida –obra de teatro que provocó el rechazo del Partido Comunista chino– y tres ensayos sobre sus concepciones dramáticas, que combinan elementos del teatro tradicional chino e influencias de la dramaturgia occidental moderna (Artaud, Brecht y Beckett).La presente edición consta de textos que fueron escritos en chino y que hasta hoy sólo han sido traducidos al español. Presentamos, pues, una primicia en Occidente.

From Gao Xingjian, a winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Literature, comes a "major drama about life.Snow in August blends Eastern and Western cultures. In form, there are elements of Shakespearean and Greek tragedy, but in spirit, it embodies a uniquely Eastern sensibility."―Gao XingjianSnow in August is based on the life of Huineng (AD 633-713), the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in Tang Dynasty China. Packed with the myriad sights and sounds of both the Eastern and Western theatrical traditions, the play exudes wonder and mysticism. The many koan cases and the story of Huineng's enlightenment afford the audience fascinating vignettes of Gao's vision of life and existence ¢w an awareness of the Void and the need for a personal peace with oneself.
