«Dos hermanos» is the novel by Bernardo Atxaga, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (157 pages, in Spanish).
After the father dies, Paulo must care for his brother Daniel, a grown boy who won't listen to reason. Between the village girls and the impulses of both, a story of jealousy and misunderstandings is woven. It is told by animals —a bird, squirrels and a snake—: a fable about lost innocence, natural cruelty and the passage to adult life.
The story was originally published in Basque as Bi anai in 1985 and won the Critics' Prize for Narrative in Basque.
It will appeal to readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate symbolic fables with a rural backdrop and unusual narrative voices.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
