«Los alemanes» is the historical novel and family saga by Sergio del Molino, published by Alfaguara in paperback with flaps (336 pages, in Spanish).
In 1916, during the First World War, more than six hundred Germans from Cameroon arrive in Cádiz and settle in Zaragoza, where they form a community that will never return to Germany. Almost a century later, Eva and Fede meet again at the German cemetery in Zaragoza during the burial of their older brother, Gabi. They are the last of the Schuster family, which prospered in the food business, but the past returns with family secrets and shameful episodes in the history of Spain. The novel asks whether children inherit their parents' guilt and how far the obligation to redeem it extends.
It is the novel that won the 2024 Alfaguara Novel Prize, included in Alfaguara's Hispánica collection. The author, Sergio del Molino (Madrid, 1979), is also known for essays such as La España vacía.
For readers interested in contemporary historical novels, family sagas and literary fiction that explores memory and guilt.
