The epic literary adventure novel that has transfixed readers and critics alike in SpainEn route from Los Angeles to Singapore, a passenger plane crashes into the Pacific Ocean. Dozens of passengers survive, but with no means of contacting the outside world and no sign of rescue on the horizon, they must build a new life on a small, seemingly deserted island. The eclectic group of survivors - which includes two Mormons, a Catholic bishop, a yoga guru, and a Chilean writer with the mysterious moniker Roberto B. - soon learn that nothing is quite as it seems in their new home. With its cinematic, vivid prose and unforgettable cast of characters, Sea of Eden is at once a bold commentary on the way we live now and a gripping adventure novel. Echoing the best of David Mitchell, Haruki Murakami and Thomas Pynchon, this is already considered a modern classic in Spain, expertly translated here by Sophie Hughes.
Andres Ibanez is a Spanish author, playwright and essayist. He originally trained at the Conservatorio de Madrid, and worked as a jazz pianist for 10 years. He published his first novel in 1995, and in 2014 was awarded the prestigious ' Premio de la Critica de Narrativa Castellana' . Sea of Eden is his most recent novel. Sophie Hughes has translated novels by several contemporary Latin American and Spanish authors, including Best Translated Book Award 2017 finalist Laia Jufresa (Umami). Her translations, reviews and essays have been published in The Guardian, The White Review, the Times Literary Supplement and elsewhere. Her translation of Alia Trabucco Zeran' s The Remainder was shortlisted for the 2019 Man Booker International Prize.
