The Foreigner

What endures is always founded by a foreigner. When destruction seems to take over all things, and the realm of violence, disorder and threat imposes its rigid law, perhaps only a new look on the world is able to glimpse an aperture in the chaos. The chronicler of the history, called the Mute stands as the visionary of another future, perhaps better, perhaps impossible. He will evoke his own story, and that of Ruth, and that of Mara, and the years of the dogs wars, and the mystery of the birth of his son.
L'estrangera, Carles Torner's first novel, is a suggestive proposal, with a daring symbolic dimension, unexpected in the Catalan narrative landscape.
