«El cacique» is the novel by Luis Romero, winner of the Premio Planeta in 1963, published by Planeta in hardback (345 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in a town subjected for years to a local boss and focuses on the thirty hours following his death. The power vacuum unleashes tensions among the town's leading figures, drawn with a raw, realistic touch: pettiness, accommodation, and craving for control.
The 1976 edition belongs to Planeta's Colección Autores Españoles e Hispanoamericanos; the cover indicates the 24th edition and 118,000 copies sold.
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish fiction, particularly those interested in rural bossism and social portraiture.
