«El Cacique» is the novel by Luis Romero, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Set in a rural town dominated for years by a cacique, the novel recounts what happens after his death: the local powers-that-be vie for control, revealing the oppression and lack of freedom of its inhabitants. The story spans some thirty hours and denounces the perpetuation of caciquismo.
The novel won the Premio Planeta in 1963. The narrative unfolds almost entirely through dialogue. This edition was published in 1983.
Will appeal to readers of social fiction and Spanish narrative seeking a story of power, oppression, and rural critique.
