«El Alpe d'Huez» is Javier García Sánchez's cycling novel, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (528 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Jabato, a 36-year-old veteran cyclist whom everyone in the Tour de France has written off. Against that forecast, he launches into a solitary struggle for victory that works as a metaphor for the human being's battle against himself and his search for perfection.
The work, published in 1996, is a twentieth-century Spanish novel framed in the category of Literature and Fiction, with cycling as its backdrop.
For readers interested in sports fiction, particularly cycling, and in twentieth-century Spanish narrative.
