«El lápiz del carpintero» is the novel by Manuel Rivas, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback and in Spanish.
In the midst of the Spanish Civil War, a painter imprisoned in Santiago de Compostela uses a carpenter's pencil to draw the despair of his fellow prisoners, while a guard watches him. With that scene, Manuel Rivas composes a story of love and resistance in post-war Galicia, where memory confronts injustice.
El lápiz del carpintero was originally published in 1998 as O lapis do carpinteiro; this Spanish-language edition dates from 2005.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in the Spanish Civil War and in stories of love, memory and resistance.
