«El Jarama» is the novel by Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio, published by Austral in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
A group of young workers spends a summer Sunday on the banks of the Jarama river, on the outskirts of Madrid, swimming, chatting and eating. Through dialogues and meticulous descriptions of everyday life, the novel builds a generational and social portrait of mid-20th-century Spain, with a human weight that transcends the anecdote.
Originally published in 1955, it won the Premio Nadal and the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Castellana. This Austral edition includes a reading guide by María Luisa Burguera.
For readers of 20th-century Spanish fiction and social realism, interested in a key work of post-war literature.
Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio was a Spanish writer. In 2004 he was awarded the Premio Cervantes for his literary oeuvre.
