BARBA ENSOPADA DE SANGUE（英语译名：BLOOD-DRENCHED BEARD）
Book ID/图书代码： 11701212B59500
English Summary/英文概要： Soon after the death of his father, a young sports teacher obsessed with swimming moves to Garopaba, a quiet little town on the coast of Santa Catarina in Brazil. The move is motivated by his need to grieve in private, but also his desire to investigate the mysterious circumstances of his grandfather’s murder in that town a few decades earlier.
Adapting to the slow pace of a resort town in low season, he begins to unravel the past, accompanied by his dead father’s dog and an unlikely Buddhist. In the midst of romantic flings and occasional trips, he comes to discover more than he could ever have imagined – not just about his grandfather, but also about himself.
BLOOD-SOAKED BEARD explores the growing tension between the apparently peaceful exterior world and
the exuberant inner world of the characters. As in Daniel Galera’s previous works, the characters are torn between the quest for a second chance and the impossibility of genuine redemption. A subtle, wonderfully assured novel by one of Brazil’s most promising young writers.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一位年輕的運動員在父親去世後不久，開始只關注一件事情，游泳移居到巴西南部聖卡塔琳娜海岸的安靜小鎮加羅帕吧。在那裡，他可以獨自傷懷，也可以調查這個神秘的地方，找出祖父被殺的真相。
住了一段時間後，他就適應了度假村式的慢速生活，追憶了過去父親與一隻狗和一位佛教徒一同度過的生活。在浪漫嘻戲和遊玩中，他悟出了更多道理，不只是他祖父的生活，更關於他自己。
《沾血的鬍鬚》探討了表面上平靜的外部世界和人們豐富內心世界之間越來越緊張的關係。Daniel Galera過去的作品中的人物就被兩股力量撕扯著，一方面想要爭取第二次機會，另一方面人又很难赎罪。這種矛盾依然出現在這本新書中。

“I particularly love the musical tone of the prose and the way the precise and fast dialogues act as a counterpoint to the action”. Ricardo Piglia
“This is a very strong book. Daniel Galera is an admirable novelist – serious, robust and calm. As is this novel.It is like someone who leaves the house knowing exactly where they are going and goes at a steady pace without ever rushing”. Gonçalo M. Tavares
