«Vinieron las lluvias» is the classic novel by Louis Bromfield, published by Punto de Lectura in hardback (880 pages, in Spanish).
Set in India in the final years of British rule, the novel portrays the clash of cultures and classes: Brahmins, untouchables, Western missionaries and colonial officials coexist in a strict society that the arrival of torrential rains will throw into crisis. It was adapted into a film in 1939 starring Myrna Loy and Tyrone Power.
Originally written in 1937 under the title The Rains Came; this edition includes the translation by Juan García-Puente. It is part of the Formato Grande collection.
Recommended for readers of classic novels and historical fiction set in colonial India.
Louis Bromfield was an American writer and conservationist. A bestselling novelist in the 1920s, he reinvented himself as a farmer in the late 1930s and became one of the earliest proponents of sustainable and organic agriculture in the United States. He won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1927 for Early Autumn, founded the experimental Malabar Farm near Mansfield, Ohio, and played an important role in the early environmental movement.
