The Shadow of the Eunuch

Jaume Cabré (b. 1947) is the greatest star of Catalan literature, an essayist, novelist, playwright, and author of film and television scripts; he has been awarded the most prestigious Catalan literary prizes, his books have been translated into dozens of... languages, and their circulation exceeds one million copies. Cabré's novel "The Shadow of the Eunuch," also awarded several prizes and translated into a dozen and a half languages, is a funny and sad story of a sentimental and love-stricken connoisseur of the arts, a scion of an ancient lineage, who dedicated his student years to armed struggle for justice in search of the Way, the Truth, and Life. Mirroring the structure of Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, "The Shadow of the Eunuch" also turns into a requiem and tells the fates of all loved and lost, about losses, about death that has occurred and is yet to come. In this novel, literature and music live; here laughter is brief, sorrow is bitter, but life is never finished.
