«Casa sin amo» is the German post-war novel by Heinrich Böll, published by Seix Barral in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
The novel portrays the bewilderment of the post-war period through two eleven-year-old boys from different social backgrounds, united by the absence of their fathers, killed in the war. Their mothers, widows, fail to face their fate: one takes refuge in an absurd daydream and the other in an amoralism fraught with anguish and remorse.
Originally published in 1954 as «Haus ohne Hüter», with a translation by Margarita Fontseré. Biblioteca Breve de Bolsillo collection, Libros de Enlace (vol. 77). Received the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in 1955.
