«Océano mar» is the contemporary fiction novel by Alessandro Baricco, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The story of a shipwreck in which 147 men are left adrift on a raft crosses with the arrival of a traveller at the Almayer inn. There, a painter, a beautiful woman, a professor with a strange name and other characters in search of something coincide. The work alternates suspense, prose poem and philosophical reflection, with echoes of Conrad, Melville and Géricault.
It belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection (no. 414) and won the Viareggio Prize. Translation by Xavier González Rovira and Carlos Gumpert; edition published in 1999.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction who appreciate poetic prose, unusual characters and a structure that mixes registers and genres.
Alessandro Baricco is an Italian writer, director and performer. His novels have been translated into a number of languages.
