"Quel que fût le point qui pût retenir M. de Charlus et le giletier, leur accord semblait conclu et ces inutiles regards n'être que des préludes rituels, pareils aux fêtes qu'on donne avant un mariage décidé. Plus près de la nature encore - et la multiplicité de ces comparaisons est elle-même d'autant plus naturelle qu'un même homme, si on l'examine pendant quelques minutes, semble successivement un homme, un homme-oiseau ou un homme-insecte, etc. - on eût dit deux oiseaux, le mâle et la femelle, le mâle cherchant a s'avancer, la femelle - Jupien - ne répondant plus par aucun signe a ce manège, mais regardant son nouvel ami sans étonnement, avec une fixité inattentive, jugée sans doute plus troublante et seule utile, du moment que le mâle avait fait les premiers pas, et se contentant de lisser ses plumes".

Premio Illa Nova de Narrativa 2022 O medo é un sentimento forte e poderoso, unha arañeira que te atrapa nos seus fíos e da que custa saír por unha mesma. Mariña sente esa impotencia con só catorce anos. E intelixente, ten unha nai que a quere, pero a sua vida enmarañase nos fios do terror cada vez que vai ao colexio. O seu unico desexo e pasar desapercibida, ser invisible aos ollos dos seus acosadores, pero a escalada de violencia incrementase dia a dia, mentres segue atrapada nunha situacion da que ninguen parece decatarse. Hai quen mira para outro lado e hai quen non quere ver, ata que unha tarde desaparece. Azucena denuncia a ausencia da sua filla e os axentes da policia comezan a investigacion coa esperanza de atopar a Mariña con vida. O medo domina agora a toda a vila, tamen a aqueles que saben da sua culpabilidade. E tempo de que os segredos saian a luz, de que falen os que sempre calaron, de que se rompa a arañeira.

La vicenda narrata in "Ferito a morte" si svolge nell'arco di circa undici anni, dall'estate del 1943, quando, durante un bombardamento, il protagonista Massimo De Luca incontra Carla Boursier, fino al giorno della sua partenza per Roma, all'inizio dell'estate del 1954. Tra questi due momenti il racconto procede per frammenti e flash, ognuno presente e ricordato, ognuno riferito a un anno diverso, anche se tutti sembrano racchiusi, come per incanto, nello spazio di un solo mattino: la pesca subacquea, la noia al Circolo Nautico, il pranzo a casa De Luca... Negli ultimi tre capitoli vi e poi come una sintesi di tutti i successivi viaggi di Massimo a Napoli, disincantati ritorni nella citta che ti ferisce a morte o t'addormenta, o tutt'e due le cose insieme; nella citta che si identifica con l'irraggiungibile Carla, con il mare, con i miti della giovinezza. Se, come ha scritto E.M. Forster, il banco finale di prova di un romanzo sara l'affetto che per esso provano i lettori, quella prova "Ferito a morte" l'ha brillantemente superata: libro definito dal suo stesso autore non facile, cult per molti critici e scrittori, e stato ed e anche un libro popolare, amato e letto, con grande adesione sentimentale, da lettori che poco sapevano di questioni letterarie, ma vi ritrovavano la loro stessa nostalgia per un paradiso perduto e per una giornata perfetta. Un libro, insomma, di iniziazione, di rivelazione e di scoperta dal valore universale.

The post-apocalyptic modern classic with an introduction by novelist John Banville.In a burned-out America, a father and his young son walk under a darkened sky, heading slowly for the coast. They have no idea what, if anything, awaits them there. The landscape is destroyed, nothing moves save the ash on the wind and cruel, lawless men stalk the roadside, lying in wait.

They must keep walking.Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Road is an incandescent novel, the story of a remarkable and profoundly moving journey.
