«El encierro de las bestias» is the novel by Magnus Mills, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (283 pages, in Spanish).
A crew that installs cattle fencing works for a Scottish company. The job takes them to a village in southern England, where routine, beer and pubs dominate life outside work. Death is something natural and inseparable from their trade, and the narration maintains a grave and impassive tone before the serious and the trivial.
The translation is by Mariano Antolín Rato; the original title is The Restraint of Beasts. The work was nominated for the Booker Prize in 1998 and won the McKitterick Prize in 1999.
It is a work for readers of contemporary British fiction with dry humour and a rural atmosphere.
Magnus Mills is an English fiction writer and former bus driver. He is best known for his first novel, The Restraint of Beasts, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and praised by Thomas Pynchon.
