«Contra la juventud» is the novel by Pablo d'Ors, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardback (424 pages, in Spanish).
Young Eugen Salmann, an aspiring writer, settles in Prague believing he can devote himself to literature there, but soon discovers that his life has become a Kafkaesque fiction from which he cannot escape. Amid failed relationships with mature women and young girls, he meets a singular community and a librarian who help him confront the great questions of existence. Pablo d'Ors reflects with irony on youth as a stage of trials and errors where ideals prove excessive and inexperience leaves wounds.
First edition. Belongs to the Narrativa collection of Galaxia Gutenberg, number 135.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in narratives inspired by Central European literature, with echoes of Kafka and Kundera.
