«Crónica de las arenas» is the contemporary fiction novel by Juan Villa, published by Fundación José Manuel Lara in hardcover (240 pages, in Spanish).
After the Civil War, engineer Octavio Zamacola promotes a large eucalyptus plantation in Doñana. People fleeing hunger, prison or execution arrive at the settlements created for the workers; fear brings together a world of miseries and impostures born of the sands. It is a portrait of autarky and the failure of Francoism.
The work, published in 2005, bears the subtitle «La otra cara de Doñana» and belongs to the Andalucía Abierta collection.
Readers of contemporary fiction with an interest in recent Spanish history and the Doñana landscape.
