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.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.
