Paperback. Condition: New. Between the stifling atmosphere of New York City and the fog-covered mountains of Negueira de Muniz, What Remains follows a young Galician student researching the Franco regime's vast project of forced resettlement. In the 1950s, more than half the inhabitants of the villages in Negueira de Muniz, Galicia, were driven from their land in a brutal experiment to turn 'backward' country people into modern cattle farmers.Amid the weight of unsettling archival documents, the voices of the displaced, and a sweltering New York summer, the unnamed narrator discovers the mysterious story of a woman who disappeared from her settlement without a trace. As he pieces together her strange fate, he confronts his own temporary status in a foreign land and wonders what it means to call a place home.Intimate and dreamlike, What Remains is a meditation on the ruins of memory and an urgent exploration of identity, colonialism, and resistance. Inventively blending memoir, fiction, anthropology and travel writing, the novel investigates, with surprising intuition, the traces left in the places we inhabit.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Inventively blending memoir, fiction, anthropology and travel writing, the novel investigates, with surprising intuition, the traces left in the places we inhabit. A moving meditation on what is left in our wake. What Remains is a short book that touches lightly on big subjects: migration, colonialism, the urban-rural divide, identity, cultural curation and the meaning of home. Using elements of anthropology, essay and memoir, this is modern fiction, which demands to be read on its own striking terms.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Nogueira de Muñiz es un pequeño pueblo situado al este de la provincia de Lugo. Su futuro se vio truncado por la construcción de un embalse que dejó al pueblo aislado, cuando no anegado, obligando a más de la mitad de sus habitantes a participar en el Plan de Colonización de la Terra Chá. Bajo la migración forzada, dejaron sus tierras por otras extrañas y, en ocasiones, sufrieron el despotismo del régimen. Décadas después, un estudiante gallego trabaja en Nueva York en una tesis doctoral sobre estos poblados de colonización. Bajo el peso de documentos y de un sofocante verano, investigará sobre el destino de los desterrados, y en especial sobre el de una mujer que desapareció del poblado sin dejar rastro. No queda nadie es un lúcido ejercicio arqueológico sobre la pesquisa en las ruinas de la memoria. Construida entre la ficción y la realidad, y erigida sobre dos grandes bloques simétricos, hilvana con perspicacia los tiempos y espacios de nuestro pasado y presente. Todo para indagar, con una intuición sorprendente, sobre las huellas dejadas en los lugares que habitamos. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
