«Las esferas del mandala» is the novel by Patrick White, published by Barral editores in paperback (369 pages, in Spanish).
Arthur and Waldo Brown are twins who share an entire life: they grow up together, grow old together, and even come to share the same woman. Waldo, intelligent and observant, sees everything and understands little; Arthur, the one who does not look, understands. The novel explores the tension between two opposing ways of being in the world.
Work originally published in 1966 as The Solid Mandala; this Spanish edition of 1974 is the second and belongs to the Biblioteca breve de literatura collection, number 86.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century classics, especially those seeking novels of a psychological nature.
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.
