«Mazurca para dos muertos» is the novel by Spanish writer Camilo José Cela, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (244 pages, in Spanish).
Set in rural Galicia during the Civil War, the novel begins with a murder and the revenge it unleashes. Cela builds an extensive tableau of lives marked by sexuality, barbarism and violence, under the cyclical recurrence of rain and the passage of time, with a highly sonorous prose that imposes a musical rhythm.
The novel, originally published in 1983, won the Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 1984. This edition includes an introduction by Francisco Umbral.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and historical fiction set during the Civil War.
Camilo José Cela y Trulock, 1st Marquess of Iria Flavia was a Spanish novelist, poet, story writer and essayist associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
