«El Jarama» is the realist novel by Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio, published by Ediciones Orbis in hardback (365 pages, in Spanish).
Eleven young Madrilenians spend an August Sunday by the River Jarama. Over sixteen hours, the narrative alternates between the group's swims and conversations and the bustle of Mauricio's tavern, amid card games and the weight of routine. The arrival of Monday looms as a threat until an unexpected event closes the day.
Work originally published in 1955, winner of the Premio Nadal and the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Castellana. Part of the collection Grandes autores españoles del siglo XX (no. 5).
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish literature and realist-style novels.
