Una odisea luminosa y surrealista sobre lenguaje, identidad y hogar.Nuestra lengua es como el viento, una mezcla de todos los paisajes por los que hemos pasado a lo largo del camino.Hiruko ha visto como su tierra natal, un archipielago situado entre la China meridional y la Polinesia, ha desaparecido del mapa engullida por los estragos del cambio climatico. Refugiada en Dinamarca, ha inventado su propio lenguaje, el panska, un idioma flexible con el que es capaz de comunicarse en cualquier pais escandinavo y que enseña a quienes, como ella, no pertenecen ya a ninguna parte. Pero en un mundo en el que las fronteras se desdibujan y los mapas se reescriben a la fuerza, ¿que significa realmente pertenecer a un lugar?Impulsada por la nostalgia y la sensacion de perdida tras la desaparicion de su pais, y acompañada por Knut, un joven linguista danes fascinado por las relaciones entre identidad y lenguaje, Hiruko emprende un viaje por Europa en busca de antiguos compatriotas que hablen su lengua materna.

Un nuevo conjunto de relatos de Maxim Ósipov en los que la ironía y la compasión componen un valioso fresco de la sociedad rusa.Eternidad es un lugar remoto, un pequeño pueblo minero más allá del círculo polar artico, que sorprendentemente cuenta con su propio teatro; las peripecias de su compañia teatral durante las convulsas decadas finales del siglo xx se recogen en el cuaderno que el antiguo director del lugar, Alexandr Ivanovich, un anciano afable, pobre y gravemente enfermo, deja olvidado en la consulta de un medico de provincias.Este es el punto de partida del nuevo libro de relatos de Maxim Osipov, en el que, a traves de historias cotidianas y aparentemente menores, nos habla de la sociedad y la historia rusas, desde el ocaso del periodo sovietico hasta la guerra de Ucrania.En estas piezas, que se sirven de la mas cruda realidad y se sostienen en la bondad y la compasion, asoman la nostalgia, la ironia y el desencanto ante el paso del tiempo y la decadencia cultural del pais. Con un humor sutil y una mirada profundamente humana, Osipov una voz esencial de las letras rusas actuales hace que la historia abrace vidas comunes y, a la manera de Chejov, convierte en universal cada dolor y cada alegria.Envidio la capacidad de observacion de Osipov, tambien la ternura y el humor. A traves de el podemos asomarnos con bastante desasosiego a la vida cotidiana de la Rusia de Putin. Edurne PortelaMe encanta la prosa de Maxim Osipov. Empece a releer sus historias y me di cuenta de que su literatura se lee ahora como una especie de diagnostico: un diagnostico preciso e implacable de la vida rusa. Svetlana AlexievichObservador agudo de la sociedad y sus congeneres, firmemente anclado a la materialidad de la existencia, ironico, antirretorico, Osipov escribe como paseandose por las vicisitudes y los asuntos del dia, alternando ahi la memoria y la reflexion.
