Overview
En este extraordinario reportaje narrativo, Kapka Kassabova regresa a Bulgaria, el país del que emigró siendo niña, para explorar la frontera que comparte con Turquía y Grecia. Durante décadas, esta zona fue uno de los puntos más vigilados de Europa, un territorio de soldados, espías y huidas, comparado a menudo con el muro de Berlín. Hoy, aunque el paisaje ya no esté militarizado, sigue profundamente marcado por su pasado. En Frontera, Kassabova se adentra en un rincón oculto del continente y se encuentra con sus habitantes: búlgaros, turcos, griegos, gitanos, musulmanes balcánicos y refugiados recientes de Siria. A través de encuentros con guardias, cazatesoros, contrabandistas y migrantes, la autora traza las fronteras físicas y psicológicas que atraviesan montañas, pueblos y memorias. Un libro hipnótico sobre identidad, pertenencia y los fantasmas persistentes de la Historia.
In this extraordinary work of narrative reportage, Kapka Kassabova returns to Bulgaria, the country she left as a child, to explore the border it shares with Turkey and Greece. For decades, this area was one of the most heavily guarded zones in Europe—a land of soldiers, spies, and escapes, often compared to the Berlin Wall. Today, although no longer militarized, the landscape remains deeply scarred by its past. In Border, Kassabova ventures into a hidden corner of the continent and meets its inhabitants: Bulgarians, Turks, Greeks, Roma, Balkan Muslims, and recent refugees from Syria. Through encounters with border guards, treasure hunters, smugglers, and migrants, she maps the physical and psychological borders that cut across mountains, villages, and memories. A mesmerizing book about identity, belonging, and the lingering ghosts of History.
