A ferociously imaginative, polyphonic debut: amid the rugged beauty of the Pyrenees, the mountains' inhabitants - both human and non-human - bear witness to the tragedies that befall one family
Irene Solà Libri
17 agosto 1990
Irene Solà crea una prosa carica di lirismo e profondamente radicata nel mondo naturale. Il suo lavoro esplora spesso la vita interiore delle donne, intrecciando elementi di mito e folklore per creare narrazioni risonanti. La voce distintiva di Solà offre un'esperienza di lettura sensuale ed evocativa, catturando una connessione cruda ma bellissima con l'ambiente. Si distingue come un talento contemporaneo significativo, celebrato per la sua prospettiva originale e il suo potere emotivo.
BÈSTIA | BESTIE Bèstia („Bestie“) ist die erste Gedichtsammlung der preigekrönten katalanischen Bestsellerautorin Irene Solà in deutscher Sprache. Mit ihrem poetischen Roman „Singe ich, tanzen die Berge“ wurde sie weltweit in über 21 Sprachen veröffentlicht und für ihre besonderen Erzählperspektiven bekannt. Auch in diesem Gedichtband erzählt Solà in besonderen, in tierischen Perspektiven. Ihre Gedichte sind düstere, aufrüttelnde und lyrisch präzise Erkundungen von Geschlecht, Identität, Sexualität und vielfältigen Formen des Begehrens.

Hidden between distant cliffs, in some remote place visited by wolf hunters, bandits, ambushers, Carlists, sorceresses, maquis, rally drivers, ghosts, beasts and demons, the Clavell farmhouse clings to the earth like a tick. It is a house inhabited by women, and where a single day contains centuries of memories. Those of Joana, who made a pact to find a husband that inaugurated an apparently cursed progeny. Those of Bernadeta, whose eyelashes are missing, and who ended up seeing what she shouldn't. Those of Margarida, who instead of a whole heart has one of three quarters. Or those of Blanca, who was born without a tongue, and she doesn't speak, she just watches. These women, and more, are preparing a party today.
