«Los años extraordinarios» is the historical fiction novel by Rodrigo Cortés, published by Random House in paperback (360 pages, in Spanish).
The novel presents the fictional memoirs of Jaime Fanjul, born in Salamanca in 1902 into a bourgeois family very fond of snakes. His memories and travels compose a surrealist journey through the 20th century, with episodes such as the flooding of Salamanca by the sea, thought-powered cars, or the relocation of Paris in 1940.
It is Rodrigo Cortés's second novel; he is also a film director. The novel won the Cónsul Honorario de Torrent Històrica prize and was chosen by Telva among the 21 books of 2021.
The work is aimed at readers of literary fiction and historical novels, with a taste for absurd humour and the fantastic rewriting of the 20th century.
