«La montaña del alma» is the novel by Gao Xingjian, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (573 pages, in Spanish).
Two strangers meet on a train when their teacups clink, and from that encounter the novel delves into rural and ancestral China: its people, customs, and way of life. Narrative, travel diary, legend, and poetry merge in an odyssey in which the individual seeks their own language and gives voice to those who lack it. A work that weaves physical journey with spiritual quest.
For readers interested in contemporary Chinese fiction and works by Nobel Prize laureates in literature.
