Description: Of Saints and Miracles by Manuel Astur, Claire Wadie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Poetic and magical ... Asturs language is meticulous and vivid."--AsymptoteA breathtaking literary crime novel about family conflict in the Spanish countryside. Marcelino lives alone on his parents farm, set deep in the beautiful but impoverished reaches of northern Spain. Its the place where he grew up, the place where he doted on his baby brother, the place where he protected his mother from their fathers drunken rages. But when Marcelinos brother tricks him out of his house and land, a moment of anger sparks a chain of events that cant be reversed. Marcelino flees to the wild peaks of rural Asturias, becoming a cult hero as he evades the authorities. Into this, author Manuel Astur interweaves family tales and fables about the sun and the moon, about death and love, and offers glimpses into the lives of other villagers and the history of their community. Asturs poetic language and seamless blend of lyricism with the grotesque renders this book a treasure for the reader. Of Saints and Miracles is a sensuous portrayal of an outcasts struggle to survive in a chaotic world of both tragedy and magical splendor.
