Julián Mercader logra dar a su deseo la forma de una Violeta, una muñeca humana, cuyo nombre es el mismo de su hija. Pero cuando las Violetas alcanzan un gran éxito, convierten al juguetero en blanco de una sociedad secreta. Novela ganadora del Premio de Novela Corta Juan Rulfo 2005 de Radio Francia Internacional. Ana Clavel ha sido ganadora del Premio Nacional de Cuento "Gilberto Owen" y la Medalla de Plata 2004 de la Société Académique Arts-Sciences-Lettres de Francia Impulsado por el deseo por su hija, un hombre crea una serie de muñecas que encarnan a su vez las fantasías de sus numerosos clientes... Julián Mercader es un hombre sumido en los abismos de una pasión: el deseo por su hija Violeta. Buscando sublimar sus obsesiones y evitar la catástrofe de la culpa, crea una serie de muñecas púberes, las Violetas. Al presentarlas en una feria internacional, las Violetas empiezan a encarnar las fantasías de numerosos clientes que las encargan sobre pedido y con características que muchos llamarían, por decir lo menos, extravagantes. El éxito convierte a Julián en blanco de una sociedad secreta que busca abolir toda forma de perversidad. En esta novela, la escritura de Ana Clavel hace que el lector nade en las tinieblas de los deseos clandestinos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Julián Mercader turns his obsession into creation when he designs a human-like doll named Violeta—an invention whose unexpected success soon places him in the crosshairs of a secret society. Winner of the 2005 Juan Rulfo International Short Novel Prize from Radio France Internationale. Ana Clavel has also been awarded the Gilberto Owen National Short Story Prize and the 2004 Silver Medal from the Société Académique Arts-Sciences-Lettres of France. Driven by a troubled longing to sublimate his emotional turmoil, a man develops a series of lifelike dolls that rapidly become coveted objects—each ordered with increasingly extravagant and unsettling specifications. Julián Mercader is a man grappling with overwhelming inner forces. In an attempt to channel his obsession and stave off collapse, he creates the Violetas: meticulously crafted dolls presented at an international fair. Their sudden rise to fame allows them to absorb and reflect the hidden fantasies of their clients, turning them into cultural curiosities—and Mercader into a figure of fascination and suspicion. Their popularity draws the attention of a clandestine society determined to eradicate what it deems moral corruption. In this novel, Ana Clavel’s luminous and provocative prose plunges the reader into the shadowy territories of desire, imagination, and the perilous edges of human longing.
