«El astillero» is the novel by Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onetti, published by Seix Barral in hardback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Larsen, a former brothel manager, returns to the city of Santa María and takes a job at a ruined shipyard. His attempt to give his life direction through work clashes with corruption, self-deception, and meaningless routine. It is a story about decay, loneliness, and hope in a desolate setting.
The novel belongs to the Santa María cycle and closes Larsen's story. This edition is part of the Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea collection; it was originally published in 1961.
Recommended for readers of Latin American fiction and 20th-century classics who enjoy dense atmospheres and characters marked by disillusionment.
