Aire negro (‘Black Air’)

Aire Beltza

Psikiatriko batean dago Laura Novo, inguruari sorgor eta guztiaz ahazturik. Mediku gazte batek haren arimaren baitan sartzea lortuko du, baina ez batak ez besteak sumatzen dute errealitate ezezagun eta izugarri bati zabaldu diotela atea…

Aire Negre

La primera pacient del doctor Moldes en la clínica psiquiàtrica és Laura Novo, una dona autista i sense memòria, que passa el dia sencer escrivint el seu nom compulsivament. El doctor aconseguirà que Laura recorde tot allò que li va passar al llarg dels mesos anteriors, quan una ombra fosca semblava dominar la seua vida. Però cap dels dos no hauria pogut endevinar que, d’aquella manera, estaven obrint les portes a una realitat terrible.

Aire negro

Laura Novo no habla. Tan solo escribe su nombre una y otra vez. Víctor, su psiquiatra, le pide que cuente su historia; una historia llena de misterio y dolor donde se mezcla el amor con los miedos y las leyendas.

Aire negro (ed. Argentina)

Laura Novo es paciente de la clínica en la que un joven y brillante psiquiatra inicia su carrera profesional. Detrás de la escritura compulsiva y repetida de su nombre, ella esconde un secreto oscuro, denso, como aire negro. ¿Podrá la escritura, la palabra, liberarla del tormento de la angustia? ¿Será el amor perdido y reencontrado el que la guíe una vez más hacia la vida? Algo inefable se mueve alrededor llenándolo todo de frío y oscuridad.

Black Air

Víctor Moldes is an outstanding psychiatry student, looking to test his knowledge on patients. He is given a job at the prestigious Beira Verde Clinic in Galicia, near the Portuguese border, and handed a patient, Laura Novo, who is capable only of writing her name on blank sheets of paper. Slowly he draws her out of herself and she agrees to tell him her story, how she left Madrid in order to work on her thesis and escape a difficult relationship that was going nowhere. Her return to the land where she grew up, to stay in a guest house run by a schoolteacher she had fallen passionately in love with when she was a teenager, has fatal consequences. Her presence in the remote area of Terra Chá awakens the Great Beast, who up until that moment had been slumbering in the depths of the earth. Once awake, the Great Beast has one year to achieve its objective. Dr Moldes finds himself drawn into a conflict he is barely able to understand, let alone control, and, having finally pieced together the fragments of the narrative, he is in a race against time to save his patient.

ЧЕРЕН ВЪЗДУХ (Black Air)

Agustín Fernández Paz’s book can be called not a bestseller, but a thriller. Dealing with the known, but ending with the unknown. Suggesting the expected, but giving the reader the unexpected. Great love, a psychiatric hospital, exorcism and the unravelling of a plot which turns Freud, Jung and civilization upside down. People are a lonely crowd, under and over which the primary forces of nature prevail. They are like in a clamp, from which the only way out, though unreal, is the deceit of the megalopolis. A story so black it oozes tar, which stops you breathing.
