A novel about cinema, history, and what it means to create when freedom is contingentIn Eisen, Guzel Yakhina turns her formidable historical imagination to the life of Sergei Eisenstein, the revolutionary filmmaker who reshaped cinemaand was nearly crushed by the system he helped glorify. From the triumph of Battleship Potemkin to the torment of censorship, exile, and artistic compromise under Stalin, Yakhina traces Eisensteins life as a drama of creation under pressure. Rather than a conventional biography, Eisen is a literary portrait, rendered in vivid, episodic scenes that mirror Eisensteins own theory of montage. Moscow, Berlin, Paris, and Mexico flicker past as art, politics, sexuality, and power collide. Yakhina explores the cost of genius in an authoritarian world, the body as both instrument and battleground, and the impossible demand placed on artists to serve ideology without losing themselves.

Versos que brillan como alhajas bajo los escombros de una ciudad.Este libro se declara en rebeldía desde el principio, se revuelve contra el vivir inconsciente, adocenado, contra las reglas y convenciones sociales y tambien contra la tristeza. Con demasiada frecuencia la literatura se entrega al amargor, a las oscuridades interiores de quienes la hacen. Este libro huye hacia el vitalismo, hacia la sed de vida (Llenarme la vida de ti/ vida inconmensurable/ eso quisiera), precisamente en un tiempo historico que aparenta querer negarnosla. El buscador de metales es un llamado critico a reinventarse, una invitacion a reconquistar la vida que nos quieren usurpar.El buscador de metales es un poemario visceral, energetico y directo, en el que el deseo se cruza con la critica social, la angustia generacional, los afectos quebrados y la pulsion vital. La voz poetica es multiple: nostalgica, fogosa, autoficcional, urbana y sentida. El ritmo narrativo, los guiños a la novela grafica y la hibridacion formal lo convierten en una propuesta ineludible para lectores de hoy.
