Editorial Trotta, S.A. El libro de la hospitalidad
La obra del poeta judío Edmond Jabès se articula alrededor del Libro y de la creación de diversos libros, de entre los cuales cabe destacar El libro de las preguntas. De publicación póstuma, El libro de la hospitalidad hace balance de la vida y la obra de este escritor único, desde una estremecedora conciencia de la desaparición y una incansable apuesta por amparar al otro en un acto de hospitalidad perpetua.Me di cuenta, un día, de que algo me importaba por encima de todas las cosas: cómo definirme como extranjero?Y este fue el objeto del libro que titulé: Un extranjero con, bajo el brazo, un libro de pequeño formato.Me di cuenta, después, de que, en su vulnerabilidad, el extranjero sólo podía contar con la hospitalidad que le brindase el prójimo. Igual que las palabras se benefician de la hospitalidad de la página en blanco y el pájaro, de la hospitalidad, incondicional, del cielo.Y este es el objeto de este libro.Pero qué es la hospitalidad?.E.

The University of Chicago Press The Book of Margins
The death of Edmond Jabès in January 1991 silenced one of the most compelling voices of the postmodern, post-Holocaust era. Jabès's importance as a thinker, philosopher, and Jewish theologian cannot be overestimated, and his enigmatic style—combining aphorism, fictional dialogue, prose meditation, poetry, and other forms—holds special appeal for postmodern sensibilities. In The Book of Margins, his most critical as well as most accessible book, Jabès is again concerned with the questions that inform all of his work: the nature of writing, of silence, of God and the Book. Jabès considers the work of several of his contemporaries, including Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Roger Caillois, Paul Celan, Jacques Derrida, Michel Leiris, Emmanuel Lévinas, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and his translator, Rosmarie Waldrop. This book will be important reading for students of Jewish literature, French literature, and literature of the modern and postmodern ages. Born in Cairo in 1912, Edmond Jabès lived in France from 1956 until his death in 1991. His extensively translated and widely honored works include The Book of Questions and The Book of Shares. Both of these were translated into English by Rosmarie Waldrop, who is also a poet. Religion and Postmodernism series
