«El canto de las sirenas» is the novel by Maria Corti, published by Seix Barral in paperback (191 pages, in Spanish).
The myth of the sirens, half women and half birds, structures three stories far apart in time: a young painter and navigator's fascination with seascapes, the academic study of sirens, and the passion for writing in contemporary Italy. Variations on the seduction of knowledge and the encounter with the unknown.
The action begins in Otranto in the 14th century. The work was awarded the Cesare Pavese Prize and belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection of Seix Barral.
