«La hoja roja» is the novel by Spanish writer Miguel Delibes, published by Destino in hardback (230 pages, in Spanish).
Don Eloy, a retired man who feels time slipping away, observes Madrid's daily routine and reviews his life as the end approaches. Delibes constructs a portrait of solitude and old age, of the loss of youth and the awareness of death, with a close, unadorned gaze.
The novel was originally published in 1959; this Destino edition is from 2004.
For readers of Spanish fiction and classics that address old age and the passage of time.
