El absoluto es la cr???nica de las seis generaciones que cambiaron el arte, la ciencia, la m???stica, la pol???tica y hasta el rumbo del Universo. Del Big Bang a la Revoluci???n Rusa, de la m???sica aleatoria a la m???quina del tiempo, esta monumental novela, deslumbrante y desenfadada, sit???a a Daniel Guebel, definitivamente, entre los autores m???s virtuosos de habla hispana y entre los pocos capaces de escribir una obra que desaf???a a la propia literatura. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Municipal Novel Prize 2021 Argentine National Literature Award 2018 Literary Award of the Argentine Academy of Letters 2017 Best Novel of 2016, according to La Naci???n A provocative multigenerational exploration of creative genius, madness, and family relationships. With the ambition and density of style of Vladimir Nabokov or Olga Tokarczuk, this is a story both profound and handled with a light touch. The Absolute is a sprawling historical novel about the Deliuskin-Scriabin family, made up of six generations of geniuses and madmen. Beginning in the mid-18th century in Russia, across Europe and ending in late 20th-century Argentina, the characters' lives play out in different branches of art, politics, and science in such radical ways that they transform the world and its reality. The narrator's ancestor, Frantisek Deliuskin, invents a new form of music in the 18th century; his son, Andrei Deliuskin, makes some marginal annotations to the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola that are later interpreted by Lenin as an instruction manual to carry out the Russian Revolution of 1917; Esau Deliuskin, following the course of his father, creates a socialist utopian society; and down through the generations to the narrator, whose creation takes him back in time and space to the moment of the Big Bang. The Absolute is a monumental work about the creation of art and about family, about spiritual traditions and about throwing oneself into the world not to capture life but to create it, in and through words.
