UNKNO

Nonat Ventura, an orphan raised by nuns in Girona, Spain, embarks on a compulsive quest to uncover his origins, with the hope that he is destined for a higher social status. His search leads him from a successful apprenticeship, to factory work in Barcelona, and finally to a band of thieves that seeks to get rich by any means necessary. Nonat's central story frames a series of stories, a kaleidoscopic effect within a One Thousand and One Nights narrative: fictional tropes of orphans, spinsters, maids seduced by masters, crooks, go-getting provincials combined with realist depictions of factory workers, haberdashers, street-porters, corrupt politicians, and Belle Ã%poque high society. CatalÃ&nbsp; relishes describing the male proletarian ambience of small factories and capturing the fraught atmosphere, carnival of disguises, and class tensions on the city's streets, in its households, Liceu opera house, and theaters. A rebellious artistic project that was set to shock and discomfort readers and critics, CatalÃ&nbsp; contests the prevailing ideas on space, class, language, art, and gender.

«Su soledad se espesó y congeló en torno a su alma como una gleba polar». Mila, recién casada con Matias, un hombre al que apenas conoce, abandona su hogar para seguirle a una remota ermita encaramada en una escabrosa montaña. A su llegada conocerá a Gaietà, un pastor maduro, risueño y sabio, y al Ánima, un siniestro cazador furtivo. Esa accidentada soledad y los seres que la habitan llevan a Mila a emprender un viaje interior sin retorno. Soledad, obra maestra de las letras catalanas, publicada a principios del siglo XX, continúa siendo de una sobrecogedora vigencia tanto en el contenido como en la forma. De ahí la necesidad de la presente traducción, donde la poeta y traductora Nicole d’Amonville Alegría traslada escrupulosamente al español la extrema riqueza, la condensación y la poesía siempre presentes en la prosa de Caterina Albert.
