«Un viaje de invierno» is Juan Benet's experimental novel, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the imaginary territory of Región, it follows Máximo Thomsen's journey to La Gándara, where Demetria's annual party is being prepared for the arrival of her daughter Coré. With the myth of Demeter and Hades as a backdrop, it is an experimental novel about desolation, abandonment, language, silence, and time as a journey towards death.
First published in 1972; this paperback edition from Alianza Editorial dates from 1989.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction who appreciate formal experimentation and the reworking of classical myths.
