Tierra de olivos

Synopsis of Tierra de olivos

Tierra de olivos is a novel by the Spanish author Antonio Ferres, published by Gadir Editorial. The story takes us on a journey through the Spanish landscape, reminiscent of works such as 'Viaje a la Alcarria' by Cela and 'Campos de Níjar' by Goytisolo. This travel book, ascribed to social realism, narrates the personal epic of the protagonist, with existentialist touches and an anthropological account of the land he travels. The prose is full of poetry and sobriety, immersing itself in a landscape that the laborers curse, but whose beauty does not escape the attentive reader.
