Riassunto

"This luxurious translation of a Spanish tour de force, about the return of an exile to his native Barcelona after the Spanish Civil War, should captivate those who prize the elegant lyricism and complexity of Latin American fiction"—Publishers Weekly

Marks of Identity is the first volume of Goytisolo’s great trilogy which includesCount Julian and Juan the Landless. It is an affirmation of the ability of the individual to survive the political tyrannies of our times.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

A masterpiece which should whet the appetites of British readers for the rest of the trilogy (Times Literary Supplement)

Juan Goytisolo is by some distance the most important living novelist from Spain ... and Marks of Identity is undoubtedly his most important novel, some would say the most significant work by a Spanish writer since 1939, a truly historic milestone (Guardian)

L'autore:

Born in Barcelona in 1931, Juan Goytisolo is Spain's greatest living writer. A bitter opponent of the Franco regime, his early novels were banned in Spain. In 1956 he moved to Paris. Since then he has written extensively on the city as melting-pot, the expulsion of the Moors from Europe and the art of reading. In 2004 Goytisolo was awarded the Juan Rulfo International Latin American and Caribbean Prize for Literature, and in 2014 he won the prestigious Cervantes Prize in recognition of his life's work. He lived in Morocco until his death in 2017.
