«Mr. Witt en el Cantón» is the novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Alianza in paperback (271 pages, in Spanish).
The story takes place in Cartagena in 1873, when the cantonal uprising breaks out. Jorge Witt, an English engineer, finds himself trapped between his jealousy and his moral degradation as the revolution falls apart; the novel combines the character's psychological drama with the pulse of a collective episode in Spanish history.
Number 15 in the «Biblioteca fundamental de nuestro tiempo» collection. Winner of the Premio Nacional de Narrativa.
