This Spanish edition, published by G.P., is a translation by Fernando Barango Solís and Manuel de la Escalera.

The novel explores themes of hope, despair, and the human condition in the face of extinction.
Nevil Shute Norway was an English novelist and aeronautical engineer who spent his later years in Australia. He used his full name in his engineering career and Nevil Shute as his pen name to protect his engineering career from inferences by his employers (Vickers) or from fellow engineers that he was "not a serious person" or from potentially adverse publicity in connection with his novels, which included On the Beach and A Town Like Alice.
