Synopsis "Solenoide (in Catalá)"

Al Bucarest gris i opressiu de l'era comunista, un professor d'extraradi porta el diari d'una existència aparentment banal. El que comença com un relat d'una vida mediocre, marcada per una quotidianitat asfixiant, deriva en una exploració vertiginosa dels límits de la realitat. En una casa construïda al voltant d'un misteriós solenoide, el narrador s'endinsa en experiències que desdibuixen la frontera entre la realitat i la imaginació, transformant a la vegada el seu diari en una indagació sobre el sentit de l'existència.

Considerada l'obda magna de Mircea Cartarescu, Solenoide és una novel·la hipnòtica que transita entre el somni i la realitat per construir un univers únic i alhora inquietant.

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.
