Jaume Cabré - "I Confess"

vecāku mīlestības siltuma, bērnību, kurā galveno vietu ieņem ģimenes antīko lietu bizness un tēva kabinets, kā arī ārkārtīgi vērtīga Storioni vijole, pār kuru joprojām krīt sen izdarīta nozieguma ēna. Adriā māte ir vēsa, atsvešināta un pragmatiska sieviete, bet tēvs iet bojā savādā negadījumā, piepildot Adriā pasauli ar vainas sajūtu, noslēpumiem un neatbildētiem jautājumiem, kuru noskaidrošanai būs nepieciešami daudzi gadi, kas viņu aizvedīs tālā pagātnē, līdz visas šausmas tiks metodiski atklātas un izpētītas. Slīdinoties starp gadsimtiem un piedāvājot jaudīgu naratīvu, kas vienlaikus ir šokējošs, apbrīnojams, noslēpumains, traģisks, humoristisks un cildināmi viegli lasāms, "Es atzīstos" spēcīgā kreščendo virzās uz negaidītu atrisinājumu, kurš neapšaubāmi ir viens no pārsteidzošākajiem mūsdienu literatūrā.

Romāna fināls, iespējams, mainīs jūsu domu gaitu uz mūžu.

The novel "I Confess," which has become a constant bestseller in all the languages into which it has been translated, is an astonishing narrative about a person's lifetime. The backbone of the novel is a twisted, intricate plot line that spans centuries, offering the reader an astonishing and unforgettable literary symphony. Sixty-year-old Adrià Ardèvol, diagnosed with early Alzheimer's, looks back on his life before oblivion gradually steals his memories. He recalls a childhood without the warmth of parental love, a childhood dominated by the family's antique business and his father's study, as well as an extremely valuable Storioni violin, over which the shadow of a long-committed crime still falls. Adrià's mother is a cool, detached, and pragmatic woman, while his father dies in a strange accident, filling Adrià's world with a sense of guilt, secrets, and unanswered questions that will require many years to unravel, taking him far into the past until all horrors are methodically revealed and explored. Sliding between centuries and offering a powerful narrative that is simultaneously shocking, admirable, mysterious, tragic, humorous, and commendably easy to read, "I Confess" moves with a strong crescendo towards an unexpected resolution that is undoubtedly one of the most astonishing in modern literature.

The novel's finale may change your way of thinking for a lifetime.
