Entre o lume do val e as néboas da serra, algo se revolve nas entrañas da Galicia máis feroz e descarnada. Unha serie atroz de asasinatos espertará a memoria dun nome perdido no tempo e, como nun segredo que se comparte en voz baixa, un temor comezara a repetirse nos rumores: Volveu o Sacauntos.... Onde nacen as bestas e unha novela sobre o lado salvaxe do noso propio ser, onde a montaña marca as personalidades dos seus habitantes e a piedade pode desaparecer en calquera momento. Unha historia cunha atmosfera densa e inquietante, onde as fronteiras entre o cotian e o imaxinario se cruzan e mesturan ata facer imposible distinguir que e real e que lenda. Pedro Feijoo mergullanos nunha historia de violencia ancestral, silencios familiares e identidades ocultas. Un thriller apaixonante que explora os recunchos mais escuros da natureza humana, onde todos gardamos os nosos segredos e nada e o que parece. Ou, se cadra, si.

Libro vincitore del Premio Strega 2025 Libro vincitore del Premio Strega Giovani 2025Lanniversario e prima di tutto un romanzo di liberazione, che scardina e smaschera il totalitarismo della famiglia. Ci ferisce con la sua onesta, ci disarma con il suo candore, ci mette a nudo con la sua verita. È lo schiaffo ricevuto appena nati: grazie a quel dolore respiriamo.Dieci anni fa, quel giorno, ho visto i miei genitori per lultima volta. Da allora ho cambiato numero di telefono, casa, continente, ho tirato su un muro inespugnabile, ho messo un oceano di mezzo. Sono stati i dieci anni migliori della mia vita. Si possono abbandonare il proprio padre e la propria madre? Si puo sbattere la porta, scendere le scale e decidere che non li si vedra piu? Mettere in discussione lorigine, sfuggire alla sua stretta? Dopo dieci anni sottratti al logoramento di una violenza sottile e pervasiva tra le mura di casa, finalmente un figlio puo voltarsi e narrare la sua disgraziata famiglia e il tabu di questa censura con la forza brutale del romanzo. E celebrare cosi un lacerante anniversario: senza accusare e senza salvare, con una voce scandalosamente calma, come scrive Emmanuel Carrere a rimarcarne la potenza implacabile. Il racconto che ne deriva e il ritratto struggente e lucidissimo di una donna a perdere, che ha rinunciato a tutto pur di essere qualcosa agli occhi del marito, mentre lui tiene lei e i figli dentro un regime in cui possesso e richiesta damore sono i lacci di un unico nodo. Lisolamento stagno a cui li costringe viene infranto a tratti dagli squilli di un apparecchio telefonico mal tollerato, da qualche sporadico compagno di scuola, da unamica della madre che viene presto bandita. In questo microcosmo concentrazionario, a poco a poco si innesta nel figlio, e nei lettori, un desiderio insopprimibile di rinascita essere se stessi, vivere la propria vita, aprirsi agli altri senza il terrore delle ritorsioni. Con la certezza che, per mettersi in salvo, da li niente puo essere salvato.Proposto da Emanuele Trevi al Premio Strega 2025 con la seguente motivazione:È una storia eccezionale, quella di Bajani, che infrange un vero e proprio tabu: nelle prime pagine del libro incontriamo il protagonista che ci racconta dellultima volta che ha visto i suoi genitori, prima di voltare le spalle per sempre alla sua famiglia, disgregata dalla violenza del padre-padrone e dalla muta, disperata sottomissione della madre. Per delineare unimmagine credibile di questo inferno domestico e della fuga senza ritorno del protagonista, il narratore ricorre alle risorse del romanzo per mettere ordine nei dati dellesperienza, spiccando quel salto mortale capace di condurlo dallinformita del reale alla consistenza e alla leggibilita del vero. Ed e solo cosi che una vicenda singola si trasforma in uno specchio in cui tutti i lettori possono intravedere qualcosa che non conoscevano direttamente, eppure li riguarda. Lanniversario e un romanzo avvincente e originalissimo, che colpisce chi legge come un pugno nella testa e nella pancia. Bajani non sente il bisogno ne di condannare, ne di perdonare, e ci racconta quanto sia impervia e necessaria la via del riscatto.

WINNER OF WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS DEBUT NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2025 THE NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK CLUB PICK A full-fat, Michelin-starred treat THE SUNDAY TIMES ''I have been glued to Asako Yuzuki''s new novel Butter NIGEL SLATER The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story, and translated by Polly Barton. There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nations imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii cant resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer, "The Konkatsu Killer", Asako Yuzukis Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.
