Synopsis of Das fünfte Kind
Harriet y David Lovatt sueñan con una vida familiar idílica en la Inglaterra de los años sesenta. Tras mudarse a una casa espaciosa y tener cuatro hijos, su felicidad parece completa. Sin embargo, todo cambia con la llegada de su quinto hijo, Ben, un niño que desde su nacimiento muestra una naturaleza hostil y casi inhumana, similar a la de un trol o un gnomo. La presencia de Ben transforma el hogar de los Lovatt en un infierno, provocando el rechazo de sus hermanos y de la sociedad. Doris Lessing explora en esta novela gótica contemporánea los límites del amor materno, la fragilidad de la armonía familiar y la incapacidad de la sociedad para aceptar lo que es radicalmente diferente.

About the author
Doris Lessing
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007.

Her novels include The Grass Is Singing (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called Children of Violence (1952–1969), The Golden Notebook (1962), The Good Terrorist (1985), and five novels collectively known as Canopus in Argos: Archives (1979–1983).
