«Réquiem por un campesino español» is the novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Destino in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Mosén Millán, a priest from an Aragonese village, remembers Paco el del Molino, a peasant shot at the start of the Civil War, as he prepares to say his requiem. The memory reconstructs village life and the relations between the Church, landowners and peasants; the novel is a meditation on memory, guilt and injustice.
The volume belongs to the Clásicos Contemporáneos Comentados collection and includes commentary by Francisco Carrasquer. The work was originally published in 1953 as «Mosén Millán».
The edition is suitable for literature students and for readers who want a study guide to Sender's classic.
