The man at the end of the road

Fabio Soppa, Flavio Massimo Meridio

Sinopse

In this adventurous story, the protagonists must face both physical and personal obstacles. The friendship between the Man of the Woods and the other characters is crucial in overcoming them, but it is also the rope that provides security during the descents into the mine. It is the bond that drives them to not leave anyone behind, so that everyone can change and become better people. Central to the story are values such as friendship, trust, and the desire to improve people’s lives. The characters are fictional but are inspired by real people, and the places where the story unfolds lead the more curious reader to the entrance of a new world where technology comes to the aid of people.

Taiwan Travelogue - A Novel

Yang Shuang-Zi

WINNER OF THE 2024 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED LITERATURE 
 
 
 
May 1938. The young novelist Aoyama Chizuko has sailed from her home in Nagasaki, Japan, and arrived in Taiwan. She's been invited there by the Japanese government ruling the island, though she has no interest in their official banquets or imperialist agenda. Instead, Chizuko longs to experience real island life and to taste its authentic cuisine. 
 
 
 
Soon a Taiwanese woman—who is younger than she is, and who shares the characters of her name—is hired as her interpreter and makes her dreams come true. Chizuru arranges Chizuko's travels and proves to be an exceptional cook. Chizuko grows infatuated with her companion and intent on drawing her closer. But something causes Chizuru to keep her distance. It's only after a heartbreaking separation that Chizuko begins to grasp what the "something" is. 
 
 
 
Disguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, this novel was a sensation on its first publication in Mandarin Chinese in 2020 and won Taiwan's highest literary honor, the Golden Tripod Award. Taiwan Travelogue unburies lost colonial histories and reveals how power dynamics inflect our most intimate relationships.
