«El jinete polaco» is the novel by Antonio Muñoz Molina, published by Planeta in hardback (578 pages, in Spanish).
A simultaneous interpreter recalls his life and that of his ancestors in the Andalusian town of Mágina: his great-grandfather, a foundling who emigrated to Cuba, his grandfather who was persecuted, his peasant parents. From the assassination of Prim to the Gulf War, these lives form a mosaic that reconstructs the history of Spain and explains his personality, in a novel about memory and identity.
It won the Planeta Prize in 1991 and the National Narrative Prize in 1992. It is part of the Autores Españoles e Hispanoamericanos collection.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and historical novels interested in memory and Spain's recent past.
Antonio Muñoz Molina is a Spanish writer, a full member of the Royal Spanish Academy since 8 June 1995. He received the 1991 Premio Planeta, the 2013 Jerusalem Prize, and the 2013 Prince of Asturias Award for literature.
