«Cinco horas con Mario» is the novel by Miguel Delibes published by Austral in paperback, with 336 pages in Spanish.
Carmen keeps vigil over her husband Mario's corpse through the night and, as she leafs through the Bible he had underlined, an interior monologue unfolds in which she recalls their life together. Between reproaches and small memories, her account portrays the Spain of the 1950s, marital estrangement, and the conventions that stifled women of the era.
This edition includes an introduction by Antonio Vilanova, belongs to Austral's Contemporánea collection, and the work was originally published in 1966.
For readers of classic Spanish fiction seeking a social portrait of postwar Spain.
