Una joven fotógrafa muere repentinamente en un accidente en una carretera de Calvi, Córcega. El funeral será oficiado por su tÃo y padrino, quien pese a haberse prometido concentrarse plenamente en la liturgia, no podrá evitar que regresen a su mente imágenes de su sobrina: la niña fascinada por la fotografÃa, la adolescente seducida por un militante nacionalista, la prestigiosa fotógrafa de bodas o la periodista de un diario local que un dÃa lo dejó todo para viajar a Yugoslavia durante la guerra.
En esta aclamada obra, el ganador del premio Goncourt Jérôme Ferrari explora el abismo que existe entre la realidad y la imagen que se nos muestra de ella, y a la vez logra combinar magistralmente el vivÃsimo retrato de una mujer libre con la crónica de algunos de los acontecimientos polÃticos que convulsionaron Córcega a finales del siglo xx.
Una novela llena de humanidad, que nos lleva del fracaso de las propias aspiraciones y anhelos a los ambiguos vÃnculos que se establecen entre la imagen, la fotografÃa, lo real y la muerte.
A young photographer dies suddenly in a car accident in Calvi, Corsica. The funeral is officiated by her uncle and godfather, who despite having promised to keep his feelings in check will not be able to prevent all the memories of his niece from flooding his mind during the liturgy: the young girl fascinated by photography, the teenager captivated by a nationalist militant, the prestigious wedding photographer or the local newspaper reporter who one day left everything behind to travel to Yugoslavia as a war correspondent.
In this acclaimed work, the Goncourt award winner Jérôme Ferrari explores the gulf between reality and how we see it, at the same time masterfully combining a vivid portrait of a free woman with the historical political events that shook Corsica at the end of the 20th century. Full of humanity, this novel takes us from the failure of our own aspirations and desires to the ambiguous links that are established between a true image, a photograph, reality, and death.Also in
