Premio de novela europea 2004. Un premio concedido por un xurado de lectores e lectoras, organizado polo Casino de Santiago de Compostela e que se concede a obras publicadas en calquera país de Europa. No 2004 a novela gañadora foi A Mennulara, da autora italiana Simonetta Agnello Hornby. A Editorial Galaxia en colaboración coa Consellería de Cultura do Concello de Santiago, publícaa na colección Literaria, co que continúa a súa liña editorial dedicada á edición en galego das máis salientables novidades de narrativa internacional. A novela conta a vida dunha muller singular, a Mennulara, chamada así porque de nena colleitaba améndoas. Unha novela que se inicia o 23 de setembro do ano 1963 coa morte da protagonista, para, posteriormente, desenvolver o relato en espiral ao redor da figura desta criada dunha familia de terratenentes sicilianos. Os veciños da vila de Roccacolomba pregúntanse sobre o poder desta muller, que chegou a ser, na práctica, a administradora das propiedades e do pazo da familia Alfallipe. Chegan a odiala e mesmo a maldicila, pero tamén hai quen a lembra con gratitude. ¿Quen era realmente?¿Unha sedutora?¿Unha peza máis nas mans da mafia local? A Mennulara é un dos máis intensos e poderosos retratos de muller da narrativa europea actual. Ao tempo a novela fainos volver á Sicilia de O Gatopardo, que, un século despois, aínda se debate entre o pasado e o presente, coma se quixese resistir ao paso do tempo. Un mundo de misterio e paixón, de personaxes e situacións memorables, contado coa sensualidade e o colorido da luz do Mediterráneo.

Roccacolomba. Sicilia. 23 settembre 1963. È morta la Mennulara, al secolo Maria Rosalia Inzerillo. Domestica della famiglia Alfallipe. Tutti ne parlano, perché tutti hanno in qualche modo avuto a che fare con lei, perché tutti sanno e non sanno, perché c’è chi la odia e la maledice e chi la ricorda con gratitudine se non con venerazione. Ne parlano soprattutto gli Alfallipe, del cui patrimonio la Mennulara è stata da sempre – e senza mai venir meno al suo ruolo di domestica – oculata amministratrice. Senza di lei Orazio Alfallipe, uomo sensuale e colto, avrebbe dissipato proprietà e rendite. Senza di lei Adriana Alfallipe, una volta morto il marito, sarebbe rimasta sola in un palazzo immenso e semiabbandonato. Senza di lei i figli di Orazio e Adriana, Lilla, Carmela e Gianni, sarebbero cresciuti senza un futuro. Eppure i tre fratelli, tornati nel deserto palazzo di famiglia, credono di avere tutti dei buoni motivi per sentirsi defraudati, imbrogliati, beffati dalla donna, apparentemente rozza e ignorante, che li ha allevati come figli propri. Il medico, dottor Mendicò, e il prete, padre Arena, sanno – e non possono dire – almeno una parte del grumo di dolore che la Mennulara s’è portata dentro. E altro ancora sa il presidente Fatta, ultimo rappresentante di un’altissima casta di amministratori, che ha goduto delle confidenze e dell’amicizia di Orazio Alfallipe. Tuttavia le voci che rimbalzano dal passìo serale alle portinerie, dal Circolo della Conversazione al Palazzo delle Poste ingigantiscono e intorbidano le trame di quella donna che rabbia, passione, intelligenza hanno portato così in alto da tenere in pugno una famiglia di proprietari terrieri, un boss mafioso, un intero paese. La Sicilia dell’omertà e dell’onore sente il mutare dei tempi ma pare sospesa fra passato e presente, fra il groviglio barocco dell’antica Roccacolomba e la piatta, incolore città nuova toccata dal traffico della vicina superstrada. Decine di personaggi incrociano informazioni e commenti, calunnie e confessioni, memorie e presagi per dar corpo a uno dei più intensi e potenti ritratti di donna della narrativa italiana dopo Menzogna e sortilegio di Elsa Morante..

El 23 de septiembre de 1963, en el pueblo siciliano de Roccacolomba, fallece la Mennulara, así llamada por haber sido en su niñez una hermosa recogedora de almendras. Su vida, hasta el día mismo de su muerte, la dedicó a servir con una lealtad rayana en lo enfermizo a los acaudalados señores Alfallipe. Pero ¿cómo se explica que con el tiempo se convirtiera en administradora de los bienes de sus amos? ¿Y por qué éstos se resisten en un principio a cumplir sus últimas voluntades? En el pueblo no tardan en desatarse los chismorreos: unos la maldicen, otros la veneran. Como piezas de un rompecabezas, esas voces van dando forma a la imagen fragmentada de la Mennulara, para componer poco a poco el espléndido retrato de una mujer inolvidable. Y mientras va desvelándose el misterio que la envuelve, su figura emerge, poderosa, en un universo rural y opresivo, inmóvil en apariencia, donde luchan un pasado que se resiste a morir y una modernidad que no acaba de llegar.

In the Sicilian village of Roccacolomba, La Mennulara ('the woman who gathers almonds') lies dead. For more than 40 years she had been at the heart of the Alfallipe family, one of the richest families in Roccacolomba first as a humble maidservant and then rising to manager of the family estates. Now, at her death, gossip among the villagers is reaching fever pitch as they begin to wonder just how La Mennulara managed to amass such a large fortune. In this brilliant novel a bestseller in Italy and the winner of four major prizes Simonetta Agnello Hornby has created a splendid cast of characters, among them the greedy Alfallipe children hunting for Mennulara's will, and the villagers who all love to gossip. Was Mennulara a seducer, a blackmailer, a humble servant or an arrogant social climber? And why does don Vincenzo Ancona, the feared mafia boss, come to her funeral?

Winner of the Italian PEN Prize: A tale of illicit love and a girl forced into a convent in the early nineteenth century. 1839, Messina, Italy: Agata is the daughter of an aristocrat, albeit an impoverished one, and she has fallen in love with wealthy Giacomo Lepre. Their families, however, view their romance as unacceptable and tawdry—and when Agata’s father dies, her mother decides to ferry her daughter far away, to Naples, where she hopes to garner a stipend from the king. The only boat leaving Messina that day is captained by young Englishman James Garson. Following a tempestuous passage to Naples, during which Agata confesses her troubles to James, Agata and her mother find themselves rebuffed by the king, and Agata is forced to join a convent. The Benedictine monastery of San Giorgio Stilita is rife with rancor and jealousy, illicit passions and ancient feuds. But Agata remains aloof, devoting herself to the cultivation of medicinal herbs, calmed by the steady rhythms of monastic life. She reads all the books James sends her and follows the news of the various factions struggling to bring unity to Italy. She has accepted her life as a nun, but she is divided between her yearnings for purity and religiosity and her desire to be part of the world. And she is increasingly torn when she realizes that her feelings for James, though he is only a distant presence in her life, have eclipsed those for Lepre . . . “Hornby enriches her story with sensuous details of food, fashion, furnishings, and the rules of an extravagant society, savoring local color and personality quirks.” —Publishers Weekly “An historical novel, a coming-of-age novel, a perfect portrait of family dynamics, The Nun also gives us, in Agata, an unforgettable heroine.” —Gazzetta di Mantova
