Book Synopsis



100 años del nacimiento de Carmen Laforet

3.a edición

«Nada es parte de mi imaginario y del de generaciones enteras.» NAJAT EL HACHMI

«La literatura de Laforet es el espejo de vidas parecidas que siguen presentes en nuestra sociedad.» ANA MERINO

Prólogo de Najat El Hachmi

Epílogo de Ana Merino

Tan solo medio año después de que acabe la guerra civil, la joven Andrea se traslada a Barcelona para estudiar Letras en la universidad. En cuanto entra
en el piso de su abuela, la suciedad, la tradición, la tensión, la violencia y el odio, un perfecto reflejo de la sociedad de la época, van enturbiando la ilusión que siente por su nueva vida en la Ciudad Condal. Pero cuando conoce a Ena, una chica de la facultad, descubre un mundo brillante y esperanzador y se da cuenta de que la ansiada libertad que persigue está más cerca de lo que cree.

Con una sensibilidad extraordinaria para adentrarse en los recovecos más íntimos del alma humana, Carmen Laforet retrata las vivencias de una mujer que, ante una realidad cruel y opresiva, no desiste de su empeño por ser quien quiere ser.

Nada, la novela que inauguró la carrera literaria de Carmen Laforet, fue la obra ganadora en 1945 del Premio Nadal en su primera edición. Un clásico de la literatura que convirtió a su autora en una de las escritoras más importantes del siglo XX y que hoy día sigue cautivando a lectores de todas las generaciones.



Review Quotes




One of the great classics of contemporary European literature.--Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of The Shadow of the Wind

... a story that Carmen Laforet narrates in prose both exalted and icy, in which what is unspoken is more important than what is said, keeping the reader of the novel submerged in indescribable anguish from beginning to end--Mario Vargas Llosa

Read today, Nada surprises us with its modernity. By its absolute lack of sentimentality, in spite of the atrocities that it relates. By its exact style, clean, sharp as a crystal, and at the same time full of expressive force and poetic originality.--El Mundo

A masterly, original novel, minutely and faithfully observed, with psychological aspects that make you think and feel--Azorín

One of the best novels of the twentieth century.--Miguel Delibes, author of The Heretic
