«El pájaro pintado» is the novel by Jerzy Kosinski, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (328 pages, in Spanish).
In 1939, a six-year-old boy is sent by his parents to a remote village to escape the war. He loses contact with them and, left to his own devices, wanders through an Eastern Europe where he witnesses atrocities that leave him speechless. The novel contrasts childhood innocence with the violence of war, as a chronicle of occupied Poland.
Work originally published as The Painted Bird in 1965 and translated into Spanish by Eduardo Goligorsky; it won the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in 1966.
For readers of historical fiction and war narrative seeking a raw and demanding read.
Jerzy Kosiński was a Polish-born American writer and two-time president of the American chapter of PEN, who wrote primarily in English.
