«La cárcel» is the novel by Jesús Zárate, published by Planeta in hardback (296 pages, in Spanish).
Antonio Castán is imprisoned in a Colombian jail for a crime he denies committing. In his diary he portrays his cellmates: a lying adventurer, a sentimental bigamist, and a student forger. Their dialogues explore freedom, guilt, and innocence, while a riot and the warden's murder trigger an unexpected twist.
The novel won the Premio Planeta in 1972 and was originally published that year; this Planeta edition dates from 1987.
For readers of 20th-century Hispanic American fiction and works awarded the Premio Planeta.
