«Contra Paraíso» is the novel by Manuel Vicent, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The work recreates the author's childhood in his native village and moves through memories of his early years: from the local church turned into a bar to the preparations for his first communion. With nostalgic and sensory prose, Vicent turns memory into literary material and portrays the lost paradise of childhood.
First edition in the Ilustrados collection, with an author's prologue, epilogue and drawings by Andreu Alfaro. Published in Barcelona in June 1997.
Of interest to readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and childhood memoirs, as well as to those who appreciate illustrated editions.
