«Condenados a vivir» is the novel by José María Gironella, published by Planeta in paperback (356 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows two families from Barcelona from 1939 to the late 1960s. The characters, from two different generations, clash over their ideas and values in the climate of the long postwar period; the rift becomes dramatic friction and reflects the conflicts of the bourgeoisie over two decades.
It won the Planeta Prize in 1971. This book is the first volume of the series «Condenados a vivir», consisting of two volumes.
For readers of Spanish fiction looking for a story set in postwar Barcelona and the conflict between generations.
