«Tierras de cristal» is the fiction novel by Alessandro Baricco, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
In the imaginary city of Quinnipak, in a nineteenth-century bourgeois Europe, extraordinary characters coexist: the glassmaker Rail, who longs for a railway to feel speed; Jun, a wife of unsettling beauty; the inventor Pekisch, obsessed with a nonexistent musical note; and the architect H. Horeau, author of a building of flammable glass. Their dreams and passions crumble, leaving a residue of sadness or rage, in a structure of interwoven novels that leads to an epilogue with a bitter truth.
The novel, translated by Carlos Gumpert and Xavier González Rovira, belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection (number 394) of Anagrama.
Alessandro Baricco is an Italian writer, director and performer. His novels have been translated into a number of languages.
