«Cinco horas con Mario» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Planeta in paperback (255 pages, in Spanish).
Carmen Sotillo, Menchu, has lost her husband, Mario, and keeps vigil over his body through the night. Certain underlined passages in a Bible unleash a monologue that reviews their life together. Menchu's bourgeois mentality contrasts with Mario's liberal spirit, and this mismatch reflects the couple's lack of communication and the Spanish society of the time.
The novel, originally published in 1966, belongs to Planeta's Nuestros clásicos contemporáneos collection.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish narrative and classics that combine social and psychological portraiture.
