Synopsis "Balada d Ocells i Serps (in Catalan)"

És el matí de la sega que suposarà l’inici dels desens Jocs de la Fam, celebrats cada any. Al Capitoli, en Coriolà Snow, de divuit anys, es prepara per al seu moment de glòria com a mentor dels Jocs. La casa Snow, en altres temps poderosa, passa per moments difícils i el seu destí penja de la remota possibilitat que en Coriolà sigui capaç de superar els seus companys d’estudis quant a encant, enginy i estratègia fent de mentor per a l’ofrena vencedora. Però ho té tot en contra. Li han assignat una ofrena humiliant del Districte 12, una noia que sembla la pitjor de totes les que li podien tocar. Ara els seus destins estan inevitablement lligats... cada decisió que prengui en Coriolà podria comportar l’èxit o el fracàs, el triomf o la perdició. A l’arena, serà una lluita a mort. A fora, en Coriolà comença a sentir alguna cosa per aquesta ofrena tan poc prometedora... i s’haurà de plantejar si pot seguir les regles davant el desig de sobreviure costi el que costi.

Suzanne Collins is an American writer with great international recognition, known mainly for her successful saga The Hunger Games. Born on August 10, 1962 in Hartford, Connecticut, Collins grew up in a military family, which deeply influenced her perspective and the themes she addresses in her works.

Collins studied Drama and Telecommunications at Indiana University, in addition to obtaining a master's degree in dramatic writing from New York University. Her career began as a screenwriter for children's television programs, working on projects like Clarissa Explains It All and Little Bears. This period marked the beginning of her passion for telling stories that combined entertainment and meaningful messages.

In 2003, she published her first novel, Gregor the Overlander, part of the Underland Chronicles series, a fantasy saga aimed at a young audience. However, global success came in 2008 with The Hunger Games, the first book of the dystopian trilogy that also includes Catching Fire (2009) and Mockingjay (2010).

The Hunger Games is set in Panem, a fictional country where an oppressive government forces young people to participate in a televised fight to the death. The story, starring Katniss Everdeen, combines action, social criticism, and ethical dilemmas, resonating with readers of all ages. The trilogy has sold millions of copies in more than 50 languages and was successfully adapted into films, consolidating Collins as one of the most influential authors of the 21st century.
