SYNOPSIS
George is heartbroken after the death of his lover.
An English professor in suburban California, George must now adjust to a tragic new solitude in the sun. Beneath George’s rigid British restraint, waves of sorrow and fury surge. He doggedly persists with the routines of his past life, heading out to work, to the gym, on again to dinner. Yet along the way, George rediscovers the unexpected pleasures of life and the soul's ability to triumph over loneliness and alienation. This short, poignant novel is a tender and wistful love story.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY TOM FORD
‘Lyrical and intensely moving’ Daily Telegraph
‘Widely recognised as his supreme achievement . . . a work of compressed brilliance’ Guardian
‘A virtuoso piece of work . . . powerful’ Sunday Time

REVIEWS
Uma linda história de amor e superação
Isabel Ratão
Um telefonema que ninguém quer receber. Um desgosto que parece inultrapassável. A luta de um homem que, apesar do desajuste social e da solidão, escolhe viver. Faz-nos pensar na importância do SER.
Simplesmente fantástico
Alexandra Bastos
Posso dizer que foi um dos melhores livros que li até agora. É leve, mas dá que pensar e refletir. Amei.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christopher Isherwood
Christopher Isherwood, Cheshire em 1904-1986. Começou a escrever nos tempos da faculdade e a sua prolífica obra desenvolveu-se em vários géneros: romance, conto, relato de viagem e teatro. Mudou-se ainda jovem para Berlim, onde se sustentava ensinando inglês. Na Alemanha, assistiu de perto à ascensão de Hitler, e alguns dos seus romances reflectem essa experiência - por exemplo Adeus a Berlim, com a célebre adaptação ao cinema no musical Cabaré. No fim dos anos 1930, viajou pela China com W.H. Auden, após o que se radicou nos EUA. Aí, nos anos 1960, durante uma fase crítica da relação com Don Bachardy - o homem com quem viveu mais de vinte anos -, Christopher Isherwood escreveu este romance breve e poderoso, Um Homem Singular, com que a Quetzal inicia a publicação das suas obras.
