inapresable
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Hombres, mujeres y niños pueblan ese universo y lo saturan de equívocos, perversas relaciones de poder, falsas inocencias. El amor y el odio, lo trivial y lo extraordinario, más que como opuestos, se manifiestan como una sutil cuestión de matices. Pocos escritores han conseguido expresar así la cualidad de lo inapresable
THE UNACCESSIBLE
THE UNATTAINABLE
THE ELUSIVE
THE UNCAPTURABLE
THE UNCONCEIVABLE

Could this be inexpressible??
To express the inexpressible.
Inexpresable = Inexpressible.
My guess.

Few writers managed to express the inexpressible with such quality.

That should read \'have managed\'.
Inexpresable = Inexpressible.
My guess.

the ungraspable / the incomprehensible
Apresar = asir
To grasp, metaphorically, is to lay hold of something with the mind.
Elusive is close, too, as mentral 'prey' could be elusive and uncapturable.

I think before assuming typos we should try to give full consideration to the text as submitted, and only if that proves unfruitful should we look farther afield.
