«Años de penitencia» is the first volume of memoirs by poet and editor Carlos Barral, published by RBA in paperback (365 pages, in Spanish).
Carlos Barral reconstructs his adolescence and early youth in postwar Spain. Far from nostalgia, he describes a mediocre and oppressive social and intellectual environment, where memory blends with fantasy. The prose alternates liveliness and reflection to turn the personal account into historical testimony.
First instalment of Carlos Barral's three-volume memoirs, published in 1993. The cover includes the mentions Narrativa Actual and Autores de Lengua Española.
For those interested in postwar Spanish literature and historical memory from a personal perspective.
