«El hombre es un gran faisán en el mundo» is the novel by Herta Müller, published by Punto de Lectura in hardback (288 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows a family of German origin in a rural village in Romania, waiting for permission to emigrate while the dictatorship and its control mechanisms condition daily life. The pheasant, a bird that cannot fly, is easy prey; it symbolizes the resignation and hopelessness of those who fail to escape.
