La �ltima y enigm�tica novela del Premio Nacional de Literatura de Guatemala Miguel �ngel Asturias y del Premio Iberoamericano de las Letras Jos� Donoso, entre otros. �Rey Rosa es un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generaci�n�. Roberto Bola�o �Hac�a tanto tiempo que no se sent�a tan triste. Una tristeza as�, que parec�a que proven�a de m�s all� del inicio de la vida, era como el presentimiento del tiempo en que dejar�a de existir�. Un escritor despierta en un cuarto amplio con grandes ventanas que dan al mar, una habitaci�n blanca y tranquila de la que no puede salir. Est� en un hospital psiqui�trico en Grecia y no recuerda nada, pero en su mesita de noche encuentra un manuscrito que explica c�mo lleg� hasta ah�. Hab�a pasado varios d�as deambulando por Atenas, empe�ado en traducir unos antiguos documentos protegidos por dos hermanos siniestros y conversando sobre la vida despu�s de la muerte con un vagabundo vestido con t�nica de fil�sofo en pleno invierno. Cuando finalmente mejora, su psiquiatra decide mandarles a �l y a un viejo conocido a investigar una religi�n antiqu�sima y perseguida que predica la migraci�n de las almas. En ese �mbito del mundo cabr�a volver a creer en la vida eterna, pero el amor de la joven Ja�n puede poner en riesgo hasta la mente m�s cuerda. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The enigmatic new novel by the winner of Guatemala's Miguel �ngel Asturias National Prize in Literature and the Jos� Donoso Ibero-American Literature Award. "Rey Rosa is a consummate master, the best of my generation." - Roberto Bola�o "He hadn't felt that sad in a long time. A sadness that seemed to stretch back to before the beginnings of life itself, like a presentiment of the time when it would no longer exist." A writer awakens in a spacious room with large windows giving onto the sea, a soothing white room that he cannot leave. As he soon discovers, he is in a psychiatric hospital in Greece. He remembers nothing, but in his night table he finds a manuscript explaining how he got there. He had been in Athens, trying to track down a set of old documents protected by a pair of sinister brothers and talking about death with a street person dressed in a philosopher's toga despite the winter weather. When at last the writer recovers, his psychiatrist tasks him and an old friend to research an ancient and persecuted religion that believes in the transmigration of souls. As he starts wondering about the possibility of eternal life, the love of a young woman named Ja�n threatens to unbalance even the soundest mind.
