Synopsis "L'ala Esquerra (in Catalan)"

L’ala esquerra és la primera part d’Encegador, un monument literari concebut en forma de papallona que narra un viatge vital a través d’un Bucarest on es fonen l’experiència personal i el temps històric. Aquest volum se centra en la infantesa i la joventut del protagonista, un trajecte mitològic i fantasmal on les estàtues cobren vida i els records familiars esdevenen llegendes fosques. Cărtărescu es mostra en aquest llibre en tota la seva esplendor.«Mircea Cărtărescu és, de lluny, l’escriptor més important que ha sortit de la literatura postbèl·lica.

«Aquesta obra fantàstica i lluminosa que s’arrisca a fer grans preguntes mereix tots els elogis que ha rebut i segurament serà reconeguda amb molts més premis ben merescuts. Ha fet allò que poques obres han aconseguit fer: ha transformat la literatura romanesa en una literatura universal.» World Without Borders

«Per a mi, des del meu punt de vista, Encegador és insuperable. Jo no he superat Encegador amb Solenoide, he mirat d’escriure una altra cosa. No crec que Encegador pugui ser superat. És un llibre que, per a mi, és l’apogeu. No sé si de la meva escriptura pròpiament dita, però sí de les meves forces. Solenoide és un llibre que vaig pensar segons principis diferents.

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.
