El hielo de los suyos

Estamos en el remoto pueblo de Nome, en Alaska, y corre el año 1921. Ada Blackjack, joven iñupiat, decide dejar en un hospicio a su hijo Bennett, enfermo de tuberculosis, hasta que encuentre la forma de mantenerlo. Pronto una oportunidad le cae del cielo: un barco proveniente de Seattle. En él van cuatro exploradores con ansia de aventuras y fantasías coloniales, también la gata Vic. Se dirigen a la isla de Wrangell —el último refugio de los mamuts— para anexionar el territorio a la confederación británica; están buscando a una iñupiat que cocine y cosa para ellos durante la travesía. Así es como Ada, desoyendo los augurios del chamán, se embarca en una expedición ártica. Pocos meses después todos los exploradores habrán muerto y Ada tendrá que sobrevivir sola en Wrangell con la única compañía de Vic. Para conseguirlo deberá parecerse al Gran Norte y reapropiarse de su identidad de mujer iñupiat, aplastada por años de colonialismo. Durante su transformación se enfrentará a las profundidades del hielo y de sí misma; al hambre; a la muerte de Dios; a Nanuq, el oso; así como a la posibilidad de no volver a Nome cuando llegue el barco de rescate. ¿De qué le servirá salvar a su hijo si el orden colonial nunca le dejará florecer? ¿Podrá ser ella ser buena madre si con el regreso se arriesga a la servidumbre? Su regreso final es para que Bennett conozca la ternura y el hielo de los suyos. «A veces hay que ir hasta el corazón del hielo para encontrar el fuego de la propia vida: una aventura colosal, íntima y universal, humana y más que humana, una oda a la descolonización y a la fuerza propia. La de una mujer. La de la Tierra misma». GABRIELA CABEZÓN CÁMARA «Sensacional por un montón de razones: la elección de un personaje tan significativo en el momento presente; el trabajo con los límites, las fronteras de género, clase, raza, especie; la violencia contra el cuerpo y las culturas; la delgada línea que separa la aventura y el descubrimiento, de la agresión colonialista; la relación entre conocimiento y dinero… Un libro, a la vez, clásico y extraño».

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.

Wyrok

Two scoundrels were ordered to execute a snitch. Wandering through the mountains and villages, they are hunted by their past. A dreamlike parable set in a brutal world with characters grasped by their own fear.

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.
