«El paciente inglés» is the historical fiction novel by Michael Ondaatje, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
At the end of the Second World War, four people live together in an abandoned Italian villa: a nurse who cares for a nameless, severely burned man, a thief trying to rebuild his life, and a Sikh sapper who defuses bombs. The patient's memories, which go back to the African desert, reveal a story of love and betrayal.
Originally published as «The English Patient» in 1992, it was awarded the Booker Prize. The film adaptation directed by Anthony Minghella in 1996 received nine Academy Awards.
For readers of historical fiction and literary narrative, with a story set during the Second World War and in North Africa.
