«Diario de un jubilado» is a novel by Miguel Delibes published by Destino in paperback (158 pages, in Spanish).
Lorenzo, a former hunter and emigrant, faces old age in an environment marked by consumerism. The pages of his diary record his observations on the superficiality and materialism of the present, and his particular case becomes a small-scale critique of the contemporary world.
The cover reproduces a quote by Miguel Delibes with his signature and appears as a special edition for El Norte de Castilla.
