Voices of Pamano

On the banks of the mountain river Pamanó, lost in the Pyrenees, the voices never stop. They echo past events, the pain of the past and the noise of everyday life. The teacher Tina collects material for a book about the local schools, the stonemason Jaume carves inscriptions on tombstones, the aging beauty Elisenda, charming and deceiving, bribing and giving orders, carries out her secret judgment, like an angel of vengeance. But one day, a notebook, accidentally found in a school doomed to demolition, brings to them the confession of a man whom some considered a traitor and murderer, others - a martyr. So who is he really - this Oriol Fontelles, the village teacher? And what inscription should now be carved on his tombstone?.. Jaume Cabré (b. 1947) is the biggest star of Catalan literature; His books have been translated into dozens of languages, their circulation exceeds a million copies, and his epochal novel "I Confess" has been awarded numerous prizes. "The Voices of Pamano" is his symphony, an epic canvas where reflections multiply, everything is not as it seems, and the truth is desperately desired and invariably slips out of hands.
