«El río» is the novel by Ana María Matute published by Nórdica Libros in hardback (96 pages, in Spanish).
A man returns after eleven years to the village of his summers and finds it covered by a reservoir; only in August does it emerge from the waters like a disturbing apparition. From that image, Ana María Matute evokes a magical and unrecoverable childhood, with wolves, beggars, disguises, the death of a child, rain and echo, where reality merges with mystery and life with death.
This edition is part of the Ilustrados collection from Nórdica Libros, published in 2019.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Spanish narrative interested in memory, childhood and the passage of time.
