La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.

Svatá

Život ovdovělé hospodské Aloisie se obrátí vzhůru nohama ve chvíli, kdy se její dceři Kristě zjeví v lese Panna Maria. Třebaže ji krom Kristy nikdo neviděl, zpráva o zjevení se rychle rozkřikne, do zapomenutého kraje začnou proudit zástupy a zadlužená hospoda konečně prosperuje. Krista je stejnou měrou okolím adorována i nenáviděna. Sama Aloisie neví, na kterou stranu se přiklonit. Je její dcera lhářka, nebo vizionářka? A zjevuje se v lese skutečně Matka Boží, nebo něco mnohem děsivějšího? Příběh o lásce, víře a nekonečné vůli vychází ze skutečných událostí, které se odehrály v devatenáctém století na Broumovsku.

Los Miralles

La primera novela de Kike Cherta parte de una premisa tan sugerente como original. Los Miralles, una atípica familia valenciana, están convencidos de que el manzano que crece en el patio de su alquería es de origen divino. De hecho, creen que es el mismísimo Árbol del Bien y del Mal que aparece en la Biblia, el mismo del que comieron Adán y Eva embaucados por una serpiente parlanchina. Desde hace generaciones, tienen una única misión: vigilarlo noche y día para que nadie vuelva a probar jamás del fruto prohibido. En este sorprendente debut, Kike Cherta indaga en las paradojas propias de cualquier tradición, en las siempre complejas dinámicas familiares y en la culpa asociada a las raíces. Envuelta en un aura mágica que casi no deja diferencias lo que es real de lo que es milagro, el libro se nutre de un punto medio ideal entre trascendencia y humor. Religión, familia e identidad se mezclan en una suerte de comedia negra profanamente bíblica.
