«La isla» is the short novel by Giani Stuparich, published by Editorial Minúscula in paperback (123 pages, in Spanish).
An ailing father asks his son to leave the mountains where he spends his summers for a few days and accompany him, perhaps for the last time, to the Adriatic island of his birth. The reunion with that luminous landscape, laden with memories, proves decisive for both: one understands what it means to leave descendants behind, and the other confronts the meaning of loss.
It belongs to the Paisajes narrados collection, number 23. Translation by J.Á. González Sainz. Originally published in 1942 as «L'isola». Finalist for the 2008 Llibreter Prize.
Recommended for readers of twentieth-century Italian classics who appreciate short fiction of great emotional intensity.
