«Condenados a vivir» is the novel by José María Gironella, published by Planeta in hardcover (in Spanish).
The work follows two Barcelona families during the postwar period, from 1939 to the late sixties, and reflects the change of the bourgeois class in a divided Spain. Characters from different generations clash over their ideas and values: for them, words cease to mean the same and dialogue becomes impossible.
The novel won the Premio Planeta in 1971 and this edition is from 1984.
