«Trastorno» is the novel by Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard, published by Alfaguara in hardback (224 pages, in Spanish).
A young doctor accompanies his father, a district judge, on his visits through a rural valley in Austria. Observing the peasants' lives and the way his father administers justice, the protagonist begins to doubt his own convictions. An encounter with a decadent nobleman in a castle closes the novel in a suffocating atmosphere.
Originally published in 1967; this Spanish edition, translated by Miguel Sáenz, was published in 1990.
Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard was an Austrian novelist, playwright, poet and polemicist who is considered one of the most important German-language authors of the postwar era. He explored themes of death, isolation, obsession and illness in controversial literature that was pessimistic about the human condition and highly critical of post-war Austrian and European culture. He developed a distinctive prose style often featuring multiple perspectives on characters and events, idiosyncratic vocabulary and punctuation, and long monologues by protagonists on the verge of insanity.
