Todo se desmorona en una ciudad que padece muchos de los malos sueños de nuestra actualidad. El desorden impera como un arrebato aniquilador de la vida cotidiana, y nada se mantiene en pie debido a unos sucesos que precipitan la debacle, el tragicomico exterminio de aquellas normas que amparaban nuestra convivencia. La realidad es mas fragil e imprevisible de lo que pensabamos, y hay muchas dosis de maledicencia y calentura en las revelaciones de quien protagoniza esta farsa, un desenfadado gacetillero que todo lo observa desde las esquinas de su vigilancia. La fabula esta servida, muy en el limite de lo que nos tiene acostumbrados su autor, con ese humor disolvente que pone en solfa los comportamientos politicos y morales de un mundo desquiciado.

Obra clave para entender el antisemitismo rumano y, más ampliamente, las tensiones entre individuo y comunidad, razón y fanatismo, Desde hace dos mil años es un testimonio literario de primera magnitud, cargado de lucidez, contradiccion y belleza. Un clasico olvidado que se incorpora, con voz propia, al gran relato de la literatura europea del siglo XX.Desde hace dos mil años, publicada originalmente en 1934, es una de las grandes novelas-testimonio del siglo XX europeo. En ella, Mihail Sebastian, figura clave de la vida intelectual rumana de entreguerras, despliega una meditacion narrativa de asombrosa modernidad sobre la identidad, la exclusion y la fractura interior de un tiempo a punto de estallar. En un tono que combina el diario intimo, la cronica existencial y la observacion politica, seguimos el recorrido de un joven estudiante judio en la Universidad de Bucarest, confrontado no solo con el antisemitismo brutal de sus compañeros y profesores, sino tambien con el laberinto de su propia pertenencia. Ajeno al sionismo, critico con toda forma de fervor ideologico, Sebastian escribe desde una posicion tan incomoda como iluminadora: la del que observa desde dentro y desde fuera al mismo tiempo. Entre cafes, libros y debates universitarios, y bajo la sombra creciente del fascismo, el narrador asiste a la transformacion de su pais y de si mismo, a la intemperie de una Europa que va cerrando puertas.La publicacion de esta edicion supone no solo la recuperacion de un texto esencial, sino tambien la primera traduccion al español del polemico prologo original de Nae Ionescu mentor de Sebastian y antisemita declarado, que el autor decidio decidio, en un gesto tan temerario como lucido, conservar, junto a Como me converti en huligan, un ajuste de cuentas literario tras la traicion de su maestro.CRITICALa prosa de Sebastian es como algo que podria haber escrito Chejov: la misma modestia, franqueza y sutileza de observacion. Arthur MillerDesde hace dos mil años capta maravillosamente el sentido de la Rumania de preguerra en toda su sofisticacion, su belleza y su horror... Me encanta la valentia de Sebastian, su ligereza y su ingenio. John BanvilleUna inolvidable cronica de un estudiante judio en la Bucarest de los años 20. Uno de los testimonios mas notables del surgimiento del nazismo en Europa. The GuardianUn relato elegante y terriblemente sincero sobre como la violencia y la irracionalidad surgen a tu alrededor. Paris ReviewSebastian, nacido en 1907, fue un escritor profundamente inmerso en la vida intelectual de Rumania en las decadas de entreguerras, y su libro presagia de forma escalofriante el ascenso del autoritarismo en su pais. New York Times Book ReviewNada de lo que he leido es mas conmovedor que la magnifica e inquietante novela de Mihail Sebastian de 1934. Philippe Sands, Guardian Books of the YearBellamente observador y rebosante de perspicacia, ni una sola palabra parece siquiera ligeramente artificiosa. Revista MomentMordaz, meditativa, enrevesada, provocativa. Mas que un fascinante documento historico, es una novela coherente y persuasiva. Financial Times

A superb writer, by turns funny, graceful, acidly cynical, lyrical.GuardianJem Calder is my new favourite writer. Andrew OHaganCalders writing achieves that rare thing of capturing how it feels to be young.EsquireChuck and Joey meet in a bar. Hes in his mid-thirties; shes twelve years younger.

They go back to Chucks luxury flat-a world away from Joeys cramped house-share, the crumbs in her bed. Soon, Joeys imagining a future between them and Chucks moving on from a major change in his recent past.
