«Cinco horas con Mario» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (257 pages, in Spanish).
Carmen Sotillo, Menchu, has just been widowed and keeps vigil over the corpse of her husband, Mario. Some underlined passages in her Bible unleash in her a monologue in which she reviews their life together: Carmen's bourgeois and complacent mentality contrasts with Mario's liberal and committed spirit, whom she never stops censuring.
The novel was originally published in 1966. This edition belongs to the Maestros de la Narrativa Hispánica collection and includes an introduction by Rafael Conte.
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish fiction interested in the portrait of society and the tensions of Francoist Spain.
