Orbitor Volume 1

My past represented the key, blurred signs made it seem readable, I had to somehow begin the massive reading, but no star was showing itself to suddenly illuminate my understanding. Whether the sequences of my life (sounds and touches, clouds and cities, laughter and the earth full of worms) are read horizontally or vertically, from left to right or right to left, or whether I must walk back and forth in the boustrophedon of my childhood, whether it is pictorial or phonetic writing, I didn't know if there was any writing... In the watermark of each page, you saw a weave of blue and red veins that beat with a single pulse, diluting the paragraphs... Because the parchment was alive like the freshly peeled skin of a martyr and swimming in ink and blood. But what was written on my skin or tattooed there, between the nipples of my breast, was completely unclear to me for now. Mircea C?rt?rescu, who is considered Romania's greatest living writer, is among the strongest candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Orbitor is C?rt?rescu's masterpiece, an extraordinary narrative that heralds his Nobel Prize. In this three-volume river novel, which made a huge impact in the countries where it was translated, he takes the reader on a mystical journey through the history of Romania, accompanied by dreams, hallucinations and hazy memories. A strange family, a traveling circus, zombie armies, secret police, American fighter pilots, New Orleans underground jazz musicians and a totalitarian regime roam the narrator's dreams. The picture of war, sex, death and destruction he draws resembles Salvador Dali's dream world. But this dream world is also a reflection of a world we know. In his novel Orbitor, he builds a magnificent cathedral with his strong and original voice, literary style and poetic language. C?rt?rescu.
