«Juventud» is the novel by Julien Green published by Plaza & Janés in 1976, in hardback (252 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows a young man who, after a period as a student in the United States, returns to Paris in the 1920s and finds himself torn between his emotions and his vocation as a writer. Affective relationships and an overactive imagination confront him with a conflict between spirit and flesh, a tension that will mark his youth and his future career.
The edition belongs to the La Vida es Río collection, published in Barcelona, with a translation by R. M. Bassols.
For readers interested in youth, literary vocation, and inner conflicts in 1920s Paris.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
