«Las esferas del mandala» is the novel by Patrick White, published in 1973 by Barral Editores in paperback (369 pages, in Spanish).
The novel focuses on the twins Arthur and Waldo Brown and the weight of a family past that conditions their lives. Through the gaze of Waldo, a frustrated writer, and Arthur, portrayed between the vulgarly healthy and the anomalous, White explores identity, fraternal relationships, and the search for meaning in ordinary life.
The edition is part of the Breve Biblioteca de Literaturas collection (no. 86); the author, Patrick White, received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973.
Patrick Victor Martindale White was an Australian novelist and playwright who explored themes of religious experience, personal identity and the conflict between visionary individuals and a materialistic, conformist society. Influenced by the modernism of James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf, he developed a complex literary style and a body of work that challenged the dominant realist prose tradition of his home country, was satirical of Australian society, and sharply divided local critics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973 and is the only Australian to have been awarded it.
