«Lectura insólita de El Capital» is the novel by Spanish writer Raúl Guerra Garrido, published by Destino in hardback (341 pages, in Spanish).
A Basque industrialist, Lizarraga, is kidnapped by ETA and during his captivity reads Karl Marx's Capital. Meanwhile, someone tries to reconstruct his biography; the counterpoint between his inner monologue and those voices shows the complexity of a man marked by the industrialisation of the Basque Country and its political and social contradictions.
Winner of the Eugenio Nadal Prize 1976 and originally published in 1977, it belongs to Destino's Áncora y Delfín collection (volume 517).
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in the socio-political conflicts of the Basque Country.
Raúl Guerra Garrido was a Spanish writer. He was the recipient of the 1975 Premio Nadal for Lectura insólita de El Capital and the 1984 Premio Planeta de Novela for La guerra del Wolfram.
