La Familia de Pascual Duarte / The Family of Pascual Duarte
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The first novel by Camilo Jos Cela, a landmark in postwar Spanish literature.
The Family of Pascual Duarte first saw the light in 1942 and had a huge impact on the Spanish literary scene of the time. Camilo Jos Cela's first book was a valuable starting point for postwar Spanish narrative.
The tragic life of its archetypal protagonist, who lived submersed in anguish, pain, and the most savage violence, was an indirect reflection of the cruelty and savagery suffered by Spaniards during the recently concluded Civil War, while at the same it opened the door to a new literary style, later known as "tremendismo", which is characterized by a tendency to emphasize violence and grotesque imagery.
