Nazarena / Spanish Edition [Spanish]

LA HISTORIA DE UNA FAMILIA ATENAZADA POR LA CULPA, LA TRAICI N Y LA LOCURA.

UNA AUTORA ACLAMADA POR LA CR TICA INTERNACIONAL.

«Una escritura tensa y compleja como la de Coetzee . --The New York Times

«Escritura seca, concisa, directa, de una fuerza expresiva extraordinaria. ...] Sencillamente magistral . --Fernando Aramburu, El Mundo - La Esfera de Papel

En la casa familiar de La Araira, donde ocho hermanas conviven bajo la sombra de una madre devastada y una estirpe carcomida, cada silencio es una amenaza. La s ptima de ellas, Nazarena, barre obsesivamente el patio para ahuyentar las desgracias, pero es en el polvo donde se abren las grietas: las rivalidades de las hermanas, los muertos que regresan, el deseo como huida, los animales que presagian desastres y un pasado que se encarna en visiones y terror. La prosa de Karina Sainz Borgo, llena de intensas im genes y resonancias ancestrales, ilumina poco a poco lo que intenta ocultar cada una de estas mujeres.

Con ecos de Rulfo, Garc a M rquez, Lorca y el universo de violencia y desesperaci n de La hija de la espa ola, esta novela explora la fragilidad humana de manera honda y perturbadora, lleva al extremo las tensiones entre culpa, poder y supervivencia, y nos muestra un territorio donde lo real y lo alucinado se entrelazan con exactitud inquietante. Nazarena es la historia de una fractura familiar que late como un coraz n enfermo y confirma la maestr a de la autora para llevar la tradici n a un lugar propio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE STORY OF A FAMILY TORMENTED BY GUILT, BETRAYAL, AND MADNESS.

AN AUTHOR ACCLAIMED BY INTERNATIONAL CRITICS.

"Writing as tense and complex as Coetzee's." --The New York Times

"Dry, concise, direct, writing of extraordinary expressive power. ...] Simply masterful." --Fernando Aramburu, El Mundo - La Esfera de Papel

In the family home in La Araira, where eight sisters live under the shadow of a devastated mother and a decaying lineage, every silence is a threat. The seventh of them, Nazarena, obsessively sweeps the courtyard to ward off misfortune, but it is in the dust that the cracks open up: the rivalries between the sisters, the dead who return, desire as an escape, the animals that foreshadow disasters, and a past that is embodied in visions and terror. Karina Sainz Borgo's prose, full of intense images and ancestral resonances, gradually illuminates what each of these women is trying to hide.

With echoes of Rulfo, Garc a M rquez, Lorca, and the universe of violence and despair of It Would Be Night in Caracas, this novel explores human fragility in a profound and disturbing way, taking the tensions between guilt, power, and survival to the extreme, and showing us a territory where the real and the hallucinatory intertwine with disturbing accuracy. Nazarena is the story of a family fracture that beats like a sick heart and confirms the author's mastery in taking tradition to a place of her own.
