About the author

Camilo José Cela Trulock was a Spaniard writer from Galicia. Prolific author (as a novelist, journalist, essayist, literary magazine editor, lecturer ...), he was a member of the Royal Spanish Academy for 45 years and won, among others, the Prince of Asturias Prize for Literature in 1987, the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1989 ("for a rich and intensive prose, which with restrained compassion forms a challenging vision of man's vulnerability.") and the Cervantes Prize in 1995.

In 1996 King Juan Carlos I granted him, for his literary merits, the title Marquis of Iria Flavia.

His son, Camilo José Cela Conde is also a writer.

Reviews

[Julian Peñaranda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A ratos obra de arte, a ratos excesivamente abstracta. Cela en estado puro. Galicia patria chica exaltada
