Als de dieren

In Als de dieren onderzoekt een vrouw wat haar is overkomen na de geboorte van haar eerste kind – een ervaring zo donker dat ze zich tegen taal en betekenis verzet. In het dierenrijk, in oude mythes, in foto’s, e-mails en zelfs boodschappenlijstjes uit haar kraamtijd, zoekt de vrouw naar houvast. Hoe word je, lang nadat je je kind op de wereld hebt gezet, alsnog moeder? En hoe verenig je opnieuw de brokstukken van een mens, nadat die uit elkaar is gevallen?

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.

Щом животните

В „Щом животните” една жена изследва връхлитащото я след раждането на първото ѝ дете – изживяване толкова мрачно, че тя се съпротивлява на езика и смисъла. Търси опора в животинското царство, в старите митове, в снимки, имейли и дори в списъците си за пазаруване от периода около раждането. Как се превръщаш, дълго след като детето ти е дошло на този свят, в майка? И как съединяваш отново отломките от един човек, който се е разпаднал? Разтърсващ разказ, който опипом кара читателя да се замисли. Великолепно отчаяние. — в-к „НРК ханделсблат” Лизелот Мариен дебютира с изключително силен и нищо неподминаващ роман за майчинството. „Щом животните” е едновременно протокол от екзистенциално търсене и творба с блестяща стилистика. — в-к „Тейд”

Presuda

Dvojici pokvarenjaka naloženo je da pogube cinkaroša. Dok tumaraju planinama i selima, za petama im je vlastita prošlost. Ovo je onirička parabola smeštena u surovi svet, u kojoj strah gospodari sudbinama junaka.
