«El caos y la noche» is the novel by Henry de Montherlant, published by Duomo ediciones in paperback (203 pages, in Spanish).
Don Celestino, an elderly anarchist exiled in Paris with his daughter Pascualita, still fights the civil war in his memory. When an inheritance forces him to return to Madrid in the sixties, he finds a transformed Spain that does not match his ghosts. Montherlant explores the paranoia, rage and remorse of exile.
Novel originally published in French in 1963; this Spanish edition recovers passages suppressed by censorship and adds fragments from the author's notebooks, with an introduction by Gary Indiana.
For readers of contemporary European fiction, especially those who appreciate Thomas Bernhard, Roberto Bolaño, Graham Greene or Albert Camus.
Henry Marie Joseph Frédéric Expedite Millon de Montherlant was a French essayist, novelist, and dramatist. He was elected to the Académie française in 1960.
