«La hoja roja» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (253 pages, in Spanish).
Don Eloy, a recently retired man, lives by the calendar: each page he tears off reminds him that time is running out, just as leaves fall from the trees in autumn. Between daily routine and memories, the novel paints a melancholy portrait of old age, solitude and the closeness of death.
