&«Fresán conjura una escritura hipnótica de rara belleza.Melvill es una invitación a caminar sobre el hielo.»MARIANA ENRIQUEZRegìstrese y archìvese, aunque se prefiera no hacerlo: Es la noche del 10 de diciembre de 1831 y Allan Melvill cruza a pie el congelado rìo Hudson.A partir de las figuras de Herman Melville y de su padre Allan Melvill -surcando dìas de infancia junto al lecho de un alucinado y noches de escritor crepuscular que ya no empuña pluma ni arpón- Melvill sale a la caza del enigma de la siempre huérfana vocación literaria, del legado del estigma familiar, de los navegantes de la ficción y de los náufragos de la realidad.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Fresan conjures up a hypnotic writing of rare beauty. Melvill is an invitation to walk on ice." -MARIANA ENRIQUEZ Document it and file it, even if it's better not to: It's the night of December 10, 1831, and Allan Melvill is walking across the frozen Hudson River. Based on Herman Melville and his father Allan Melvill-plowing through childhood days at the bedside of a hallucinated man and nights as a twilight writer who no longer wields a pen nor harpoon- Melvill goes on the hunt for the enigma of the always orphaned literary vocation, for the legacy of family stigma, the steersmen of fiction, and the castaways of reality.
