  • Overview

    Mágica como Cien años de soledad, intensa como La casa de los espíritus, monumental como Ana Karenina.

    «Nino Haratischwili es una de las voces más importantes de la literatura alemana.».-Die Zeit

    Georgia, 1917. Stasia, la hija de un exquisito fabricante de chocolate, sueña con ser bailarina en la Ópera de París pero, recién cumplidos los diecisiete años, se enamora de Simon Iachi, oficial de la Guardia Blanca. La revolución que estalla en octubre obliga a los enamorados a contraer precipitadamente matrimonio.

    Alemania, 2006. La biznieta de Stasia, Niza, lleva varios años viviendo en Berlín y huyendo de la dolorosa carga del pasado familiar. Cuando Brilka, su sobrina de doce años, aprovecha un viaje a Europa para fugarse de casa, Niza deberá encontrarla para llevarla de vuelta al hogar. Es entonces cuando decide enfrentarse al pasado (el suyo, el de su familia) y escribir, para ella y para Brilka, la historia de las seis generaciones que las precedieron.

    De Londres a Berlín, de Viena a Tiflis, de San Petersburgo a Moscú, el apasionante destino de los miembros de esta familia georgiana se entremezcla con el de la convulsa historia del siglo XX. El resultado es una de las novelas más potentes y memorables de los últimos años.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    Magical like One Hundred Years of Solitude, intense like The House of the Spirits, monumental like Ana Karenina.

    “Nino Haratischwili is one of the most important voices in German literature.” –Die Zeit

    Georgia, 1917. Stasia, the daughter of a stylish chocolateur, dreams of becoming a dancer in the Paris Opera, but shortly after her 17th birthday, she falls in love with Simon Iachi, an official in the White Army. The revolution that breaks out in October forces the lovers to rush to the altar.
     
    Germany, 2006. Stasia’s great granddaughter, Niza, has been living in Berlin and fleeing from her family’s painful past for years. When Brilka, her 12-year-old niece, runs away from home during a trip to Europe, Niza must find her and take her home. It is during this journey that she decides to face the past and write the history of the last six generations—both for herself and for Brilka. From London to Berlin, Vienna to Tiflis, Saint Petersburg to Moscow, the thrilling destiny of the members of this Georgian family are intertwined with the tumultuous history of the 20th century. The result is one of the most potent, memorable novels in years.
