«Nada» is Carmen Laforet's first novel, published by Espasa in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
Andrea arrives in Barcelona to study and moves in with relatives. Her excitement about the city clashes with a family marked by authoritarianism and grudges, in an oppressive atmosphere that reflects postwar Spain. The novel deals with disillusionment, poverty, and the search for identity.
It won the Premio Nadal in 1944 and the Premio Fastenrath in 1948. The edition is by Rosa Navarro Durán and includes a reading guide by Enrique Turpin.
Aimed at readers of Spanish classics and literature students, especially those studying postwar narrative.
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.
