On the banks of the mountain river Pamano—lost in the Pyrenees—the voices never die. In them echo the events of the past, the pain of bygone days, and the noise of everyday life. Tine, a schoolteacher, collects materials for a book about local schools; Jaume the stonecutter carves inscriptions on gravestones; Elisenna, an aging beauty—bewitching and betraying, bribing and issuing orders—passes her secret judgment like an angel of revenge. But one day a notebook, accidentally found in a doomed-to-be-demolished school, brings them a confession of a man whom some considered a traitor and a murderer, while others saw him as a martyr.
So who is he really—Oriol Fontelles, a village schoolteacher? And what inscription must be carved now on his gravestone?..
First time in Russian!
