“Il più grande errore degli assassini è credere che nessuno possa pensare come loro”. Nella vibrante Siviglia degli anni ’20 appare morto per strada un rappresentante di una nota famiglia inglese. Molteplici coltellate l’hanno messo a tacere per sempre. Tuttavia molti sono i sospettosi. Essendo deceduto un forestiero, si decide di affidare il caso a una coppia singolare: da un lato, un esperto guardia civile sivigliano; dall"altra, un eccentrico ricercatore inglese. Segismundo Rialto e Leon D’Arcy, sveleranno il colpevole dell’omicidio mentre si dispiegano gli eventi principali...

«El poeta sevillano ha construido un estilo propio que cautiva al lector por su radicalidad y ternura, sencillez y complejidad, y también por su actualidad. Si en La diagonal (2014) resuenan las voces de Lorca («Beso de luna»), Silvia Schujer («Barco de papel»), Antonio Machado («Invierno en Soria») o de las greguerías de Ramón de la Serna («El cuento dentro de cuento solo es un cuento embarazado»), en Volver al horizonte (2017), las intertextualidades se entretejen y se hacen estructurales esenciales en la composición de cada poema»

This brilliant translation of Reyes García narrates the story of the relationship between the original author, Marina Tsvietáieva, and the actress Sofia Holliday (Sóniechka) during 1918-1919, times of a civil war, and in Moscow as setting. In 1937, Tsvietáieva went into exile to France when she knew of her friend's death. It is neither an autobiography nor a diary; it is a fragmented prose where we also find poems, dialogues, narration.
