About the Book

Arcadia es una novela sobre el encuentro entre una conciencia moderna y el impulso dionisíaco.

En un Londres oculto, una escritora solitaria entra en contacto con un mundo donde los antiguos misterios de Dionisio siguen vivos. En un teatro escondido del West End conoce a Daniel, una figura tan fascinante como inquietante, cuya presencia rompe los límites entre el yo y lo divino, entre el deseo y la pérdida de identidad.
Lo que comienza como atracción física se transforma en una experiencia religiosa: Julia descubre una dimensión sagrada de la existencia que vuelve insuficiente todo lo que antes había llamado vida. A medida que su conciencia se abre a la intensidad de experiencias que desbordan lo conocido, el mundo cotidiano se vuelve frágil e insulso.
Arcadia es una versión contemporánea de Las Bacantes de Eurípides: una tragedia sobre el éxtasis, el deseo y el precio de mirar directamente a lo sagrado. La novela plantea una pregunta inquietante: ¿Cómo seguir viviendo en un mundo falto de misterio cuando hemos acariciado la plenitud heroica del ser?
Arcadia no plantea cuestiones fáciles. Es una obra sobre lo prohibido, la transformación y el desplazamiento radical de la conciencia después de haber atravesado lo sagrado.

(Nota de la autora: Esta novela, de inspiración trágica y mitológica, aborda el erotismo sagrado como una dimensión simbólica de la experiencia dionisíaca).

Opiniones sobre Arcadia, Una Tragedia Moderna:
"Me atrapó desde la primera página; Arcadia es profundamente entretenida, pero tiene la profundidad sustancial que falta en gran parte de la ficción moderna". - Colin F. Stanley
"En Arcadia, Samantha Devin revive mitos que creíamos olvidados hace mucho tiempo. Una novela poderosa y vigorizante que rebosa de energía filosófica". - Javier Sierra

Samantha Devin es autora de Bilis Negra (Black Bile) y Heroica, publicadas internacionalmente. Su obra se sitúa entre la ficción literaria y la metafísica contemporánea.
