In the Time of the Butterflies (Paperback, 미국판)
2024년, 국제적 베스트셀러 작가이자 문학 아이콘인 줄리아 알바레스의 『In the Time of the Butterflies』가 출간 30주년을 맞았습니다. 이 작품은 “아름답고 가슴 아프며 생생하다… 트루히요에 맞서 싸운 혁명적 영웅, 미라발 자매의 이야기를 바탕으로 한 서정적인 역사 소설”입니다. (뉴욕타임스, 콘셉시온 데 레온)
1960년 11월 25일. 도미니카 공화국 북부 해안의 150피트 절벽 아래, 한 대의 지프가 부서진 채 세 아름다운 자매가 발견됩니다. 국영 신문은 이들의 죽음을 사고사로 보도합니다. 네 번째 자매가 살아 있다는 사실도, 이들이 라파엘 레오니다스 트루히요 장군의 독재에 맞선 주요 인물들이었다는 사실도 언급하지 않습니다. 그럴 필요도 없습니다. 모두가 ‘라스 마리포사스’—나비들—을 알고 있었기 때문입니다.
이 놀라운 소설에서 네 자매—미네르바, 파트리아, 마리아 테레사, 그리고 생존자 데데—는 수십 년의 시간을 넘어 자신의 목소리로 이야기를 들려줍니다. 첫사랑에서 무기 운반에 이르기까지, 그리고 트루히요 독재 아래의 일상적 공포를 생생히 묘사합니다. 줄리아 알바레스의 예술과 마법을 통해 순교한 나비들은 다시 살아나, 용기와 사랑, 그리고 정치적 억압의 인간적 대가를 담은 이야기를 들려줍니다.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times)
Don't miss Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, available now!
It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies.
In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression.
"Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review
"This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com
"A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People
"Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times
"A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times
"Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com
