On the banks of the mountainous Pamano River, lost in the Pyrenees, the voices are unceasing. There are echoes of past events, the pain of the past and the noise of everyday life. Teacher Tina collects material for a book about the local schools, 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 then one day a notebook, accidentally found in a school doomed to be demolished, informs them of 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 a major star of Catalan literature; his books have been translated into dozens of languages, their circulation exceeds one million copies, and his landmark novel I Confess has been awarded numerous prizes. "Pamano's Voices" is his symphony, an epic canvas where reflections multiply, everything is not what it seems, and the truth is desperately desired and invariably eludes his grasp.
