«Condenados a vivir» is the novel by José María Gironella, published by Planeta in paperback (596 pages, in Spanish).
Two families in Barcelona are the axis of this novel, which spans from 1939 to the late sixties and portrays the postwar period and the conflicts of the bourgeoisie. They belong to two generations opposed by ideas and values; over time, dialogue becomes impossible and words cease to mean the same thing.
Winner of the Premio Planeta in 1971.
For readers of Spanish fiction interested in the postwar period, generational conflicts, and the evolution of the Barcelona bourgeoisie.
