«Réquiem por un campesino español» is the novel by Ramón J. Sender published by Temas de Hoy in paperback (146 pages, in Spanish).
Mosén Millán, priest of a small Aragonese village, recalls the life of Paco, a young peasant he baptised as a child and whose death during the Spanish Civil War still weighs on his conscience. Through this memory, the novel portrays the social and political tensions of rural Spain and the human cost of the conflict for the community.
The novel first appeared in Mexico in 1953 under the title «Mosén Millán» and adopted its current title in 1960. The newspaper El Mundo included it among the 100 best novels in Spanish of the 20th century.
A work commonly read in schools, representative of Spanish exile literature.
