«Las corrupciones» is the novel by Jesús Torbado, published in 1982 by Argos Vergara in paperback (373 pages, in Spanish).
The novel addresses the drama of a generation of Spaniards born after the civil war, who did not live through the conflict but suffered its consequences. The novel's protagonist travels through Europe while losing three forms of faith: in God, in men, and in oneself. The work offers a violent and desperate response to that collective orphanhood.
The work, winner of the 1965 Premio Alfaguara, belongs to the Libros DB collection; this edition is in Spanish.
For readers of Spanish fiction interested in the aftermath of the postwar period.
