This is the first edition of In Ballast to the White Sea, the autobiographical novel by Malcolm Lowry, known to most only through the highly romanticized story of its loss in a fire. In fact, the typescript itself has probably been read by at most a dozen people since Lowry scholars learned that it was deposited at the New York Public Library.

Although Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957) published only two novels - Ultramarine and Under the Volcano - in his lifetime, numerous other works, most of which have since been edited for publication, were in various stages of composition at his death. La Mordida, the longest and most significant of the manuscripts that have not been previously published, is a draft of a novel based on Lowry's visit to Mexico in 1945-46, which ended in the arrest and d...

In addition to a critical introduction and detailed chronologies, this volume includes photographs, many of the drawings with which Lowry illustrated his letters, and reproductions of holograph letters.

En noviembre pasado tuvimos la gran satisfacción de inaugurar la publicación de las obras de Malcolm Lowry con su libro cumbre, Bajo el volcán (Andanzas 318), novela de culto donde las haya. Seguimos ahora con otra obra, tal vez menos conocida, pero igualmente enigmática: Oscuro como la tumba en la que yace mi amigo. Se trata del relato de un viaje iniciático, una novela en clave veladamente autobiográfica, como toda su producción, que vio la ...

«Escúchanos, Señor, desde el cielo, tu morada. Como antaño, en vano nos afanamos toda la noche.», así comienza una antigua oración de los pescadores de la isla de Man, y sus palabras resuenan como un eco a lo largo de las seis narraciones que constituyen este volumen. «Por el canal de Panamá», lleno de alusiones a la Rima del anciano marinero de Coleridge, narra la lucha contra el naufragio moral del protagonista. Italia le inspiró «El extraño...

Se hallara donde se hallase ¿en el infierno de una cárcel mexicana o en el paraíso canadiense de Dollarton¿, Malcolm Lowry nunca dejó de escribir cartas. Sin duda, el intercambio epistolar era lo único que lo unía a sus congéneres y lo salvaba del aislamiento. Grafómano y perfeccionista, escribía sus cartas a lápiz y guardaba incluso los borradores, que en ocasiones utilizaba en sus obras. Así pues, una carta de Lowry es un texto vivo que ha r...
