«Mi idolatrado hijo Sisí» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Destino in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Cecilio Rubes, a superficial and selfish bathtub manufacturer, who raises his only son with the sole idea that he should be happy and without imposing discipline. His carefree attitude clashes with the Sendíns, conservative neighbours who raise their children strictly, and the Spanish Civil War ends up taking away what he loves most. A moral satire on selfishness, idealism and the consequences of war.
Work divided into three parts, each set in a period of Spain's recent history. It is part of the Áncora y Delfín collection as number 87.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in the figure of Miguel Delibes and in the post-war social novel.
