È ingenua, ma il suo sguardo sbilenco vede cio che gli altri ignorano. È vulnerabile, ma resiste alla ferocia del suo tempo. È un personaggio letterario magnifico. La voce di Redenta continuera a risuonare a lungo, dopo che avrete chiuso l''ultima pagina. Intenso, coraggioso, I giorni di Vetro e il romanzo della nostra fragilita e della nostra ostinata speranza di fronte allo scandalo della Storia. Redenta e nata a Castrocaro il giorno del delitto Matteotti. In paese si mormora che abbia la scarogna e che non arrivera nemmeno alla festa di San Rocco. Invece per la festa lei e ancora viva, mentre Matteotti viene ritrovato morto. È cosi che comincia davvero il fascismo, e anche la vicenda di Redenta, della sua famiglia, della sua gente. Un mondo di radicale violenza il Ventennio, la guerra, la prevaricazione maschile eppure di inesauribile fiducia nellumano. Sebbene Bruno, ladorato amico dinfanzia che le aveva promesso di sposarla, incurante della sua gamba matta dovuta alla polio, scompaia senza motivo, lei non smette di aspettarlo. E quando il gerarca Vetro la sceglie come sposa, il sadismo che le infligge non riesce a spegnere in lei listinto di salvezza: degli altri, prima che di se. La vita di Redenta incrocia quella di Iris, partigiana nella banda del leggendario comandante Diaz. Quale segreto nasconde Iris? Ha qualcosa che non va, la purina, dicevano. È la scarogna, ripeteva tranquilla mia madre, premendomi sulla bocca il seno. Pero ha una bella faccina, aggiungevano, e quel pero era il segno della loro compassione.Pero e buona, Pero e tranquilla. Pero non e come gli altri. Come che non piange? chiedeva la sera mio padre. Piangera. Le donne prima o poi piangono tutte.

Shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize Winner of the PEN Translates Award A monumental first collection in English from Banu Mushtaq: lawyer, activist, champion of Muslim women, and winner of Indias highest literary honors. In the twelve stories of Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in southern India. Published originally in the Kannada language between 1990 and 2023, praised for their dry and gentle humor, these portraits of family and community tensions testify to Mushtaqs years as a journalist and lawyer, in which she tirelessly championed womens rights and protested all forms of caste and religious oppression. Written in a style at once witty, vivid, colloquial, moving and excoriating, its in her charactersthe sparky children, the audacious grandmothers, the buffoonish maulvis and thug brothers, the oft-hapless husbands, and the mothers above all, surviving their feelings at great costthat Mushtaq emerges as an astonishing writer and observer of human nature, building disconcerting emotional heights out of a rich spoken style. Her opus has garnered both censure from conservative quarters as well Indias most prestigious literary awards; this is a collection sure to be read for years to come.

Publicada en 1955, esta é a novela coa que Cunqueiro comezou a súa obra narrativa logo de escribir varios libros de poemas. A historia dun Merlín xa vello e refuxiado nas terras da Miranda luguesa chega ao lector a traves do relato dunha testemuña directa, o paxe Felipe de Amancia, que lembra os tempos nos que traballou como criado do mago. A historia desenvolvese cunha permanente tension entre o marabilloso e o cotian; pola casa de Merlin pasan numerosos e curiosos personaxes na procura de consello, mais tamen se narran as aventuras de Felipe cando vai facer os encargos do seu amo. Un universo unico na literatura xorde nas fascinantes e engaioladoras historias que conta esta novela, que desde o momento da sua publicacion supuxo un fito no tocante a renovacion da narrativa galega. En Cunqueiro, a arte do narrador, adobiada dun fino sesgo humoristico, sorprende pola capacidade para facer convivir o mito co mundo cotian.O libro fundacional da narrativa de Cunqueiro, poboado de personaxes inverosimiles pero absolutamente verdadeiros cos que a invencion do seu autor chega a cotas prodixiosas.

beste zerbait ez da ohiko nobela bat: nobela mutante bat da, gorputza eta hizkuntza aldatzen saiatzen dena, desira kuir baten itsasargi. Protagonistak mutazio-gosez eta desiraz desplazatuta bizitzen eta idazten du; bizipen afektiboak, heziketa-esperientziak eta irakurketa feministak kiribilka doaz, hainbat ahots, forma eta tonuren bidez adierazita. Testuak lekukotasuna, hausnarketa kritikoa eta eszena narratibo gordinak tartekatzen ditu; espazio zartatu batetik idatzita dago: zakarra, sutsua, batzuetan hauskorra eta beste batzuetan amorruz betea. Ez da edukiaren aldetik kuir nobela bat bakarrik, narrazioaren dispositiboa bera da disidentea, eta euskara ez-bitar baten bidez idatzita dago, desira eta plazeretik abiatuta.
