Book Presentation:

"El silencio de los espíritus" by Caterina Morante

Guest speaker Angels Espasa Devesa.

Synopsis: "El silencio de los espíritus" is a novel that reflects on the passage of time through a poetic and existential lens. Moving away from traditional linearity, the narrative embraces a fragmented style reminiscent of Bergsonian evocations. Set in Manisa, a fictional town on the Mediterranean coast, the story follows several characters linked by varying degrees of kinship. As they navigate the tempestuous oceans of life with differing fortunes, the book captures existential fragments where identities, emotions, and events intertwine.

With a style that seamlessly blends diverse genres—ranging from magical realism and prose poetry to the rawest realism—Caterina Morante invites us to explore both dreamlike, metaphorical landscapes and the ruthless years of a civil war.
