La espuela is the second novel by writer and journalist Manuel Barrios, a prominent figure in the 'new Andalusian narrative.' Set in post-war Spain, the novel offers an acid portrait of the society of the time, marked by hypocrisy and double standards. The protagonist, Enrique Medina, is a complex gentleman living in a microcosm centered in Seville and the Las Cruces farmhouse. The plot explores the decay of a way of life sustained by prejudices and unspeakable secrets. This edition includes a prologue by Alberto González Troyano, which contextualizes the novel and vindicates the value of a forgotten literary generation.
