«Nada» is the novel by Carmen Laforet, published by Austral in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Andrea arrives in postwar Barcelona to study literature and moves into her grandmother's house, a stifling environment of tension and violent emotions, inhabited by strange characters. Against this family microcosm, her university life revolves around her friendship with Ena; the clash between both worlds leads to a dramatic dialogue.
Volume 1 of Austral's Contemporánea collection. The novel won the Nadal Prize in the award's first edition.
For those seeking a classic of 20th-century Spanish literature; prescribed reading for high school in Catalonia.
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.
