Mimoun
Rafael Chirbes
Synopsis "Mimoun"
Un profesor de espanol llega a Marruecos con el vago proposito de concluir una novela. Se instala en Mimoun, un pueblo del Atlas, y alli se cierne sobre el un extrano tejido de relaciones en el que los personajes se mueven, tropiezan y desaparecen como bolas de un billar americano. Francisco, Hassan, Aixa, Rachida o Charpent son para Manuel, el narrador-protagonista, seres enigmaticos sobre los que proyecta su propio desconcierto. Pero es Charpent, un misterioso exiliado, quien, con su proceso autodestructor, le ofrece a Manuel el contrapunto mas exacto de su propio destino, resumido en las palabras de Rilke: «Oh, Senor, concede a cada cual su propia muerte.» El Marruecos de Mimoun no es un marco exotico, sino un espacio palpitante y hostil donde los personajes buscan la fuerza necesaria para seguir viviendo. / A Spanish teacher arrives in Morocco with the vague intention of finishing a novel. He settles in Mimoun, a town in the Atlas mountains, and there a strange network of relationships hang over him in which the characters move, collide and disappear like balls in an American billiard hall.

But it is Charpent, a mysterious exile, who, with his self destructive process, offers Manuel the most exact counterpoint to his own destiny, summed up by the words of Rilke: ""Oh Lord, give each person his own personal death. Mimouns Morocco is not an exotic setting, but a throbbing and hostile space where the characters search for the strength necessary to keep on living.
