«Mort d'un guia de riu» is the contemporary fiction novel by Richard Flanagan, published by Rayo Verde Editorial in paperback (350 pages, in Catalan).
Trapped under a waterfall on the Franklin River in Tasmania, guide Aljaz Cosini drowns while visions of his life and those of his ancestors parade before him. In these images, surface reality fades and dreams regain their power; the river's rise submerges him in a family past that ultimately reveals the historical soul of his country.
Richard Flanagan's first novel, whose original title is 'Death of a River Guide' (1994); Catalan translation by Josefina Caball; volume 17 of the Raigs globulars collection.
Recommended for readers of literary and historical fiction and for book clubs interested in the memory and landscape of Tasmania.
