«Con el favor del viento» is the memoir by Carlos Barral, published by Alfaguara in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
Carlos Barral, poet and editor, pours into this work his passion for sailing and his bond with the Catalan coast. Halfway between personal memoir and maritime chronicle, the author traverses landscapes, ports and people of the shoreline with the gaze of one who knows the sea from within. The volume gathers his reflections and memories as a sailor, written with the prose of one of the great names of twentieth-century Spanish literature.
Work originally written in Catalan and published in this edition in Spanish by Alfaguara in 1999. It forms part of the narrative of its author, one of the most influential poets and editors of the Spanish mid-century.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish literature, fans of writers' memoirs and people interested in the Mediterranean seafaring tradition.
