«Cartas entre un padre y un hijo. Los años de Oxford» is the correspondence of V. S. Naipaul, published by Debate in hardback (352 pages, in Spanish).
V. S. Naipaul arrived in England in 1950, aged eighteen, with a scholarship to study at Oxford. The correspondence with his father, Seepersad, and his sister, maintained until Seepersad's death in 1953, reflects financial hardship, nostalgia, and progress towards his vocation as a writer. These letters trace an intimate portrait of the formation of the future Nobel laureate.
The work comes from the original «Letters Between a Father and Son»; this Spanish translation was published in 2006.
For readers interested in epistolary literature and the figure of V. S. Naipaul, with 1950s England as a backdrop.
Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was a Trinidad and Tobago-born British writer renowned for his works of fiction and nonfiction in English. He is known for his comic early novels set in Trinidad, his bleaker novels of alienation in the wider world, and his vigilant chronicles of life and travels. He wrote in prose that was widely admired, but his views sometimes aroused controversy. He published more than thirty books over fifty years.
