«Pan en las aguas» is the novel by American writer Irwin Shaw, published by Plaza & Janés Editores in paperback (379 pages, in Spanish).
The story centres on the Strands, a humble but stable New York family, whose life is turned upside down when their teenage daughter helps a rich, lonely Wall Street lawyer. The grateful lawyer showers them with gifts and money, and that unexpected generosity upsets the household's balance and leads it down an uncertain path.
Originally published as «Bread upon the Waters» in 1981, this 1982 Spanish edition belongs to the Gran Parada collection; translation by Lorenzo Cortina.
For readers of twentieth-century American fiction and followers of Irwin Shaw, author of «El baile de los malditos» and «Hombre rico, hombre pobre».
Irwin Shaw was an American playwright, screenwriter, novelist, and short-story author whose written works have sold more than 14 million copies.
