Premio Nacional de las Letras 2024

«Para ellos, el mundo iba estupendamente mal. Era un valle de l grimas. Y ese lugar, en parte, era de nuestra propiedad .


Es muy temprano. La luz del alba trata de abrirse paso en el muro de niebla. A pie del monte, seis cazadores hacen los preparativos para la batida. Los une una mezcla de amistad, ansias de poder, conexiones profesionales e intereses econ micos. Su objetivo: un jabal , el Solitario, que arrastra una leyenda de criminal. Dombod n, el m s joven de la cuadrilla --un personaje especial, desquiciado y l cido a la vez--, narra, seg n se suceden, los episodios de una jornada que se va cargando poco a poco de tensi n, violencia y frustraci n. Y a medida que habla, el joven desvela el abuso y la depredaci n social y natural que lleva imperando desde hace a os en Tras do Ceo. En realidad, el mismo mundo en el que vivimos todos

En Detr s del cielo, Manuel Rivas entrega una novela de serie negra, noir en el sentido radical, salvaje: una historia que ata e tanto a la vida de las personas, a la caza del ser humano por sus semejantes, como a los animales y a la naturaleza. Y trata tambi n de personajes ins litos, n ufragos de una resistencia imperfecta y amoratada, entra ables habitantes de la adversidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Premio Nacional de las Letras Espa olas 2024 award

"For them, the world was going to ruin. It was a vale of tears, and we were partly responsible for it."

It's early morning. Dawn is struggling to break through the wall of mist. At the foot of the mountain, six men are preparing to set off on a hunt. They are bound to each other by a mixture of friendship, lust for power, professional connections and financial interest. Their quarry: a legendary wild boar known as el Solitario. Dombod n, the youngest of the six --a special case, delusional and lucid at once - narrates the events of a day that devolves gradually into tension, violence and frustration. As his account unfolds, he reveals the abuse and depredation that have permeated Tras do Ceo for years; in other words, the same qualities that rule our world.

In Behind the Sky, Manuel Rivas brings us a dark tale, noir in the sense of being radical, savage: a novel about a world in which humans are hunted down like animals and nature is despoiled. But this world is peopled by extraordinary individuals, the protagonists of a battered and imperfect resistance that continues to hold out through adversity.
