Summary
Mercè Rodoreda: Smrt i spreni
Often interpreted as an allegory of life under a dictatorship, the novel "Death in Spring" is a fascinating and disturbing story about power, exile, but also the hope that arises from the smallest gestures of independence.
Death in Spring is a dark story about a teenager growing up in a remote village in the Catalan mountains where moral impositions and artificial fears, against the background of false myths, suppress intimate desires of people in the community. Through the eyes of a fourteen-year-old boy, Rudureda introduces us to the grotesque phenomena of a nameless city where women wear blindfolds to avoid desire, the dead are buried in trees after their mouths are filled with cement to prevent their souls from escaping, and attempts at rebellion are quickly suppressed.
Through the bizarre and violent rituals and customs of the repressive environment, which stand in stark contrast to the stunning, melodious and exuberant with the poetic language of this novel, the author draws us an ethos of pure uniformity, leaving at the end a picture of uncompromising horror, blinding complexity and energy. In this posthumously published novel, a literary testimony of oneiric power and expressive rigor, Merse Rudureda had to reach from the bottom of the barrel of horror fiction to speak about the reality of life in societies where every hint of freedom is destroyed and every individual initiative is suppressed.
