About this ebook
With profound compassion, Berger explores the hearts and minds of both men and women, and what happens during sex, to reveal the conditions of the libertine's success: his essential loneliness, the quiet cumulation in each of his sexual experiences of all of those that precede it, the tenderness that infuses even the briefest of his encounters, and the way women experience their own extraordinariness through their liaisons with him. Set against the turbulent backdrop of Garibaldi's attempt to unite Italy, the failed revolution of Milanese workers in 1898, the Boer War and the dramatic first flight across the Alps, G. is a brilliant novel about the search for intimacy in the turmoil of history.
John Berger
John Berger (Londres, 1926) se formó en la Central School of Arts de Londres. Después de dedicarse a dar clases de dibujo, comenzó a escribir crítica de arte y pronto cambió su registro por la novela, el ensayo, la poesía, el teatro y el guión cinematográfico y televisivo. Desde hace más de treinta años vive y trabaja en un pueblo de la Alta Saboya. Ha colaborado en diferentes proyectos con Jean Mohr, Alain Tunner, Nella Bielski, John Christie o su propia hija Katya. John Berger no considera la escritura como una profesión, sino como un modo de aproximación a lo experimentado. Entre sus estudios sobre arte traducidos al castellano se encuentran Mirar, Modos de ver y Otra manera de contar (con Jean Mohr), todos ellos publicados por Editorial Gustavo Gili.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's really been too long since I've read this one...it's complicated, rich in terms of texture, and it's ideas in terms of the exploration of relationships, even feminism, are the most forefront in my mind as I recall it. However, it's a complex book deserving of more of a description and I have read too many books inbetween then and now to not get some details mixed up.
