Description
No dust jacket. Former library copy. Hardcover has some normal wear. The pages are clean and in good condition. The binding is secure.
This rare book by the renowned Spanish author Juan Goytisolo offers a unique glimpse into the rural landscapes and cultural traditions of Nijar and La Chanca, two regions in the southeastern Spanish province of AlmerÃa. Published in 1981, it captures a time when these areas were still largely untouched by modern development, preserving their rich history and way of life.
Goytisolo, a member of the Generation of ’50 literary movement, was known for his critical examination of Spanish society and his innovative narrative techniques. In this work, he masterfully blends vivid descriptions of the arid landscapes, traditional architecture, and agricultural practices with insightful observations on the region’s cultural heritage and the lives of its inhabitants.
Collectors and readers alike will appreciate the book’s significance as a documentation of a rapidly disappearing way of life, as well as Goytisolo’s poetic prose and his ability to capture the essence of these remote corners of Spain. This former library copy, despite its wear, offers a rare opportunity to delve into a lesser-known aspect of Goytisolo’s oeuvre and gain a deeper understanding of the rich cultural tapestry that makes up the Spanish countryside.
