«La familia de Pascual Duarte» is the foundational novel of tremendismo by Camilo José Cela, published by Destino in paperback (185 pages, in Spanish).
Pascual Duarte, an Extremaduran peasant sentenced to death, writes his memoirs in the first person while awaiting execution: a life marked by misery, violence, and fatality. His account is a raw vision of rural postwar Spain, with guilt and destiny as forces that dominate him.
The work was originally published in 1942; this edition is from 2002 and belongs to the Áncora y Delfín collection, number 63.
Recommended for students and readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish narrative and classics.
