«Meroe» is the novel by Olivier Rolin, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback, with 214 pages, in Spanish.
A man travels to Khartoum to escape a past love; his only company is another taciturn expatriate and an encyclopedia. As he narrates the history of Sudan, he fuses his fate with that of General Gordon and an archaeologist obsessed with the ruins of Meroe, until an accident reproduces a previous tragedy. Atmosphere with echoes of Conrad and Lowry.
Translation by María Teresa Gallego Urrutia. Volume 466 of the Panorama de narrativas collection. Original title: Méroé.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in novels with historical background and dense atmosphere.
Olivier Rolin is a French writer. He won the Prix Femina in 1994, for his novel Port-Soudan.
