«Las cárceles del alma» is the classic novel by Lajos Zilahy, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (581 pages, in Spanish).
In Las cárceles del alma, Pedro and Miett, a young married couple from Budapest, are separated by the outbreak of the First World War. The novel contrasts the evocation of a nearly dreamlike city with the tension between flesh and spirit, and reflects on the fleeting nature of human bonds and the way of contemplating the world.
Originally published in 1931 as «Két fogoly», translated from Hungarian by F. Oliver-Brachfeld. This edition from Círculo de Lectores belongs to the Biblioteca de Éxitos collection.
A work for readers of classic fiction and Hungarian literature, with a story set in early 20th-century Europe.
Lajos Zilahy was a Hungarian novelist and playwright. Born in Nagyszalonta, Austria-Hungary, he studied law at the University of Budapest before serving in the Austro-Hungarian army during the First World War, in which he was wounded on the Eastern Front – an experience which later informed his bestselling novel Two Prisoners.
