Leer másEl protagonista d’El cos, el jove Mircea, ens convida a acompanyar-lo en la lectura del seu manuscrit, alhora que ressegueix la història del seu avi Vasile a l’època daurada de Romania, ens transporta a la dècada dels seixanta en un país dominat pel Partit i ens passeja per un Bucarest exultant i mític que invoca la grandesa de temps passats.Cărtărescu té la capacitat d’evocar una visió que il·lumina la societat d’una manera única i enlluernadora, i una poètica exuberant que l’ha dut a confirmar-lo com un dels escriptors més prodigiosos del segle xxi. Llegir-lo és una experiència embriagadora que converteix la realitat en prodigi.

Mircea Cartarescu was born on June 1, 1956 in Bucharest, Romania into a middle-class family. From an early age, he showed a strong interest in literature and music, influenced by the counterculture of the 60s and 70s. He pursued his studies at the University of Bucharest, in the faculty of letters where he earned a PhD with a fascinating thesis on Romanian postmodernism. He has been a university professor, editor, and contributor to literary magazines, as well as an active member of the Romanian PEN Club and the European Cultural Parliament.

He began his literary career as a poet in 1978 and published his first book, Faurir, vitrin, fotografii (1980), which earned him the Romanian Writers' Union Award. His work is characterized by lyrical, dreamlike, and experimental prose, in which the boundary between reality and dream blurs. He has explored themes such as memory, identity, recent Romanian history, and the transformative power of literature.

He was awarded the prestigious Formentor Prize for Literature, and has received awards of the importance of the Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding, the Gregor von Rezzori Prize, the Thomas Mann Prize, the Austrian State Prize for European Literature, and the FIL Prize for Literature in Romance Languages. His texts have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
