84岁的智利裔美国作家伊莎贝尔·阿连德以笔名"光之风景"(Luz Ventura)的身份获得了第75届西班牙普拉内塔文学奖,奖金为100万欧元1。这部获奖作品《黎明前的时刻》是其1982年代表作《幽灵之家》的续集,讲述了角色阿尔芭从皮诺切特独裁统治期间的监禁和刑讯中恢复的故事1。颁奖典礼于周四在巴塞罗那举行,西班牙国王费利佩六世和王妃莱蒂西亚出席1。
阿连德表示此前从未参加过任何竞赛,因为"我想避免最后一名的尴尬"1。对于这次获奖,她形容这一胜利"如同获得诺贝尔奖"1。阿连德指出这次胜利对普拉内塔集团意义重大,该集团是西班牙最大的出版集团之一,而她的作品此前一直由企鹅兰登书屋旗下的出版社出版1。阿连德的全球著作销售量超过8000万册,被翻译成40多种语言1。
阿连德还表达了对当今世界的忧虑:"现在我看到许多民主制度受到威权主义、极端民族主义甚至法西斯主义的威胁,我再次感到当年促使我离开祖国的那种恐惧"1。西班牙作家兼编剧塞尔希奥·埃尔南德斯凭借作品《乡愁》获得亚军,奖金为200,000欧元1。
Chilean-American author Isabel Allende has won the 75th Planeta Literary Prize, one of the world's most lucrative literary awards, under the pseudonym Luz Ventura for her novel "La hora antes del alba" (The Hour Before Dawn)1. The prize carries a purse of €1 million1.
The 84-year-old author submitted her work under a fictional title, "Los que faltan" (Those Who Are Missing), as part of the competition's anonymous submission process1. The winning novel serves as a sequel to her landmark 1982 work "The House of the Spirits," following the character Alba's recovery from imprisonment and torture during Chile's Pinochet dictatorship1. At the awards ceremony in Barcelona on Thursday, attended by Spanish King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, Allende described the victory as "like winning the Nobel"1. She also reflected on contemporary global challenges, stating: "Now that I see so many democracies threatened by authoritarianism, extreme nationalism and even fascism, I feel again the fear that led me to leave my country"1.
Allende revealed that she had previously avoided entering literary competitions, explaining: "I had never entered a competition because I wanted to avoid the embarrassment of coming last"1. The prize marks a significant milestone for the Planeta publishing group, one of Spain's largest, as Allende's works have previously been published through Penguin Random House imprints1. Her books have sold more than 80 million copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 40 languages1. Spanish author and screenwriter Sergio Hernández finished as runner-up with his work "La añoranza" (Longing), receiving €200,0001.
