Book Synopsis



«En rumano es muy frecuente decir: "He vuelto a ser un faisán", que significa: "He vuelto a fracasar", "No lo he logrado". O sea, en rumano, el faisán es un perdedor.»

Herta Müller, Premio Nobel de Literatura 2009 El faisán es un ave que no vuela, vive en el suelo, es una presa fácil que no puede escapar. En esta obra la autora refleja la resignación y desesperanza interior de los años previos a su exilio. Aborda el destino de una familia de origen alemán que espera con ansiedad la autorización para abandonar Rumanía. Los personajes, asfixiados por unas fronteras no solamente geográficas, trazadas por los aparatos represivos de la dictadura, reflejan una gran tensión en sus vidas. Angela Merkel dijo... «Precisamente ahora, 20 años tras la caída del muro de Berlín, es una señal maravillosa que se honre con el Nobel de Literatura a una escritora que ha vivido esta experiencia en carne propia.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Romanian, it is very common to say: "I have become a pheasant again," which means: "I have failed again," "I didn't make it." In Romanian, the pheasant is a loser.

Herta Müller, Nobel Prize in Literature 2009 The pheasant is a bird that does not fly, lives on the ground, and is an easy prey that cannot escape. In this work, the author reflects the resignation and inner despair of the years leading up to her exile. She addresses the fate of a German family anxiously awaiting permission to leave Romania. The characters, suffocated by borders that are not only geographical, drawn by the repressive apparatus of the dictatorship, reflect great tension in their lives. Angela Merkel said... "Precisely now, 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it is a wonderful sign that a writer who has lived this experience firsthand is honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature."
