"El jinete polaco" is the novel by Spanish writer Antonio Muñoz Molina, published by Seix Barral in paperback (608 pages, in Spanish).
A simultaneous interpreter who travels ceaselessly tells his life story to a woman and evokes the voices of Mágina, his hometown. Thus cross paths a foundling great-grandfather who was in Cuba, a grandfather who was an assault guard and ended up in a concentration camp, and peasant parents: a mosaic of lives between 1870 and the Gulf War.
It won the Planeta Prize in 1991 and the National Literature Prize in 1992; this edition, revised by the author, belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection.
It will appeal to readers of contemporary Spanish literary fiction and to those seeking historical fiction with a generational perspective.
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.
