«El poder y la gloria» is the novel by Graham Greene, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
In a poor region of southern Mexico, the militias have outlawed faith and priests are persecuted. The last one left, nicknamed the «whisky priest», flees trying not to be betrayed; he is not a hero, but his compassion for others sustains him. The novel interweaves the flight with an examination of conscience, sin and redemption.
Originally published in 1940 as «The Power and the Glory» and awarded the Hawthornden Prize in 1941; this Spanish edition is from 1994, in the Jet 230/2 collection from Plaza & Janés.
For readers of twentieth-century literary classics and British novels dealing with faith, guilt and redemption.
