City bigwigs divide up the pie after the death of a textile factory owner, unknown assailants attempt to assassinate bourgeois and labor activists, the entire country, except for the government, protests against the war, and one girl studies at a Catholic school and spends her days daydreaming. An organist monk comes to a convent as a confessor and sees firsthand what happens to people when dogma and rules are more important than God, music, and beauty, while one girl breaks free from the shackles of monastic life, agonizingly doubting her choice. Aspiring vampire, the life-weary Claude Debussy, and a failed novice, the very same girl who first discovered love, meet in a resort lounge, and more than just human hearts are at risk...
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 won numerous awards. The trilogy "The Book of Feixes" is the origin of his work and the constant backdrop of his life (Feiixes was based on Tarrasa, his hometown of Cabra), while the novels "The Web" and "Fra Juno" also won several major awards. Here, the revolution is tragic and comical, but the eternal question of any detective story, "Who benefits?" completely drowns out any romantic note, and the allure of control over everyone around him, including those closest to him, is utterly irresistible. Here, it is crystal clear that where there is no music, there can be no God, yet all the church authorities are obsessed with burying a monk whose only sins are his strong faith and love for music and people. Here, a vampire must choose between true knowledge and love, and the devil has a tremendous job of making people believe in him.
