Incredibilmente bello, urgente e inquietante. Un capolavoro.' Colm Tóibín, dall'introduzione 'Oscuro, bello e brillante' Sarah Moss, autrice di Ghost Wall Death in Spring è un racconto oscuro e onirico sul raggiungimento della maggiore età di un adolescente in un remoto villaggio nelle montagne catalane; un luogo isolato dal mondo esterno, dove le crudeli usanze vengono seguite ciecamente e i tentativi di ribellione vengono rapidamente repressi. Quando suo padre muore, deve muoversi da solo in questa società oppressiva e imparare a vivere in un luogo di paralizzante conformismo. Spesso visto come un'allegoria della vita sotto una dittatura, Death in Spring è un romanzo ammaliante e inquietante sul potere, l'esilio e la speranza che deriva anche dai più piccoli gesti di indipendenza. "Rodoreda mi ha abbagliato" Gabriel Garcia Marquez "L'arte di Rodoreda è di altissimo livello" Diana Athill "Leggetelo per la sua bellezza, per il modo in cui sorprenderà e sovvertirà i vostri desideri e come testimonianza dello spirito umano di fronte alla brutalità e all'involontaria disumanità". Jesmyn Ward, autrice di Sing, Unburied, Sing "Completamente straordinario" Claire-Louise Bennett, autrice di Pond.

Mercè Rodoreda was born in Barcelona in 1908. During the Spanish Civil War she was exiled to France and later Switzerland. Rodoreda was only able to return to Barcelona in the mid-1960s, where she wrote several prize-winning novels in Catalan, including Death in Spring, which was inspired by her experience of Franco's dictatorship. Rodoreda died in 1983, a few years before Death in Spring's first publication, and is widely regarded as the most important Catalan writer of the twentieth century.
Death in Spring is a dark and dream-like tale of a teenage boy's coming of age in a remote village in the Catalan mountains; a place cut off from the outside world, where cruel customs are blindly followed, and attempts at rebellion swiftly crushed. When his father dies, he must navigate this oppressive society alone, and learn how to live in a place of crippling conformity. Often seen as an allegory for life under a dictatorship, Death in Spring is a bewitching and unsettling novel about power, exile, and the hope that comes from even the smallest gestures of independence.
