«Retrato de grupo con señora» is the novel by German writer Heinrich Böll, published by Bruguera Libro Amigo in paperback (475 pages, in Spanish).
Tracing the life of Leni, the narrative combines interviews, reports and testimonies to compose a mosaic of German society since the postwar period: from the well-to-do classes to those living rough. The protagonist's freedom ends up unsettling the apparent harmony of the Western «miracle», in a moral satire that looks at Europe.
Originally published in 1971 as «Gruppenbild mit Dame»; translated from German by Alberto Sánchez Ávalos. Collection «Libro Amigo», number 818.
For readers of twentieth-century European fiction, social narrative and German historical fiction.
Heinrich Theodor Böll was a German writer. Considered one of Germany's foremost post–World War II writers, Böll received the Georg Büchner Prize (1967) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1972).
