Una historia bíblica, la de Sara y Abraham, contada a través de ella: la mujer detrás del patriarca.
Sara es una novela bien documentada, verosímil, escrita con humor e inventiva, que presenta el lado humano de personajes bíblicos. Sara es la narración de un peregrinaje por reinos hostiles y tierras inhóspitas, mientras cumplen con las arbitrarias indicaciones transmitidas a Abraham por Iahvé o "el Mago", un ser multiforme al que no parece gustarle la risa. Mientras acampan en las inmediaciones del lago Salado, cerca de Sodoma y Gomorra, tres mancebos aparecen ante la pareja para anunciarles que la infértil y anciana Sara dará a luz un hijo que convertirá a Abraham en tronco de innumerables generaciones. Pese a que generación tras generación se creyó que ésta era una historia protagonizada por hombres, es Sara, con su ironía, humor, incredulidad, tesón y capacidad para cuestionar los designios divinos, laque la dota de autenticidad. Con el ritmo de una de esas historias que se contaban al calor del fuego, Sergio Ramírez construye en esta novela un brillante divertimento a partir de una figura tomada de la Biblia, pero vestida con el ropaje de una sensibilidad femenina más actual. Es el relato de la rebeldía inteligente de una mujer que decide tomar las riendas de su vida hasta conseguir cumplir el mayor de sus anhelos -ser madre-, y preservarlo por encima de todo. La crítica ha dicho sobre su autor: "El primer cuentista vivo en el continente latinoamericano, y uno de los mejores en español, heredero de las armas de Cortázar y Monterroso... Por cada cuento un mundo."ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Sarah and Abraham live as nomads "through hostile kingdoms, inhospitable lands, and places as distant as Egypt. It is while they are camped in the vicinity of the Dead Sea, near Sodom and Gomorrah, when three men appear to announce that the infertile and elderly Sarah will give birth to a son who will turn Abraham into the originator of countless generations. Sergio Ramírez presents the woman behind the man: Sarah. Jealousy, flirting, pragmatism, solidarity among women (in the case of Edith, Lot's wife), the silent demand for equality, the condescendence toward a husband whose every weakness and limitation she knows, the bewilderment in the face of the unjustified and arbitrary preference that "the Magician" shows for Abraham.
Sergio Ramírez, ganador del Premio Cervantes 2017 y del Premio Alfaguara de Novela con Margarita, está linda la mar en 1998, nació en Masatepe, Nicaragua, en 1942. Es parte de la generación de escritores latinoamericanos que surgió después del Boom, y tras un largo exilio voluntario en Costa Rica y Alemania abandonó por un tiempo su carrera literaria para incorporarse a la revolución sandinista que derrocó a la dictadura del último Somoza. Reemprendió la escritura con la novela Castigo divino (1988), que obtuvo el Premio Dashiell Hammett en España, y la siguiente, Un baile de máscaras, ganó el Premio Laure Bataillon a la mejor novela extranjera traducida en Francia en 1998. Alfaguara ha publicado sus Cuentos completos, con un prólogo de Mario Benedetti (1998); Mentiras verdaderas (ensayos sobre la creación literaria, 2001); los volúmenes de cuentos Catalina y Catalina (2001), El reino animal (2007) y Flores oscuras (2013); así como las novelas Sombras nada más (2002), Mil y una muertes (2005), El cielo llora por mí (2008), La fugitiva (2011), Flores oscuras (2013) y Sara (2015). También Alfaguara ha publicado sus memorias de la revolución, Adiós muchachos (1999). Margarita, está linda la mar ganó, además, el Premio Latinoamericano de novela José María Arguedas, otorgado por Casa de las Américas en Cuba. En 2011 recibió en Chile el Premio Iberoamericano de Letras José Donoso por el conjunto de su obra literaria, y en 2014 el Premio Carlos Fuentes.
