«El lápiz del carpintero» is the historical novel by Manuel Rivas, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
During the Civil War, a painter imprisoned in Santiago de Compostela draws the Portico of Glory with a carpenter's pencil and portrays the desperation of his fellow prisoners; a guard, his future killer, watches him. From this arises a story that intertwines the fate of the socialist doctor Daniel Da Barca and his love for Marisa Mallo.
Work originally published in Galician as «O lapis do carpinteiro» in 1998, winner of the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Galega and the Premio San Clemente.
