«El pianista» is the novel by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, published by Plaza & Janés in 1993 in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
The novel narrates the encounter between a pianist who plays in a club and an old acquaintance who displays the signs of the victor, while memory transports him through three times: present-day Barcelona, the 1940s, and Paris in 1936. It is a reflection on the role of the artist in society and on ethics as a guide to behaviour.
