«Nada» is the existentialist novel by Carmen Laforet, published by Destino in paperback (295 pages, in Spanish).
In «Nada», Andrea, a young orphan, arrives in Barcelona to study literature and her hopes clash with the oppressive atmosphere in her grandmother's house. The novel contrasts the violent family microcosm with the cordiality of university relationships, centred on Ena, and both worlds converge in a dramatic dialogue that reflects post-war Spain.
First novel by Carmen Laforet and winner of the Premio Nadal in 1944; this edition belongs to the Destinolibro collection, number 57.
Classic of Spanish literature, present in school and university settings, and of interest to readers of post-war existentialist fiction.
Carmen Laforet was a Spanish author who wrote in the period after the Spanish Civil War. An important European writer, her works contributed to the school of Existentialist Literature and her first novel Nada continued the Spanish tremendismo literary style begun by Camilo José Cela with his novel, La familia de Pascual Duarte. She received the Premio Nadal in 1944.
