«Cartas de amor de un sexagenario voluptuoso» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published in 2000 by Destino in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
Through the 42 letters that Eugenio, a man in his sixties, writes to Rocío, the novel shows how his tone shifts from almost cold courtesy to exaltation, impatience to meet her, and disillusionment. Delibes thus explores desire, loneliness, and the contradictions of love in maturity.
It is aimed at the general public, especially those who enjoy Spanish narrative and epistolary stories with an ironic look at love.
