«El diciembre del decano» is the novel by Saul Bellow, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (360 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Albert Corde, dean of journalism in Chicago, torn between the corruption of his city and the desolation of Bucharest, where his mother-in-law is seriously ill. That contrast leads him to question his convictions and gives rise to a reflection on morality, social decay, and meaning in a dehumanized world.
Translation by Jesús Pardo; part of the El Ave Fénix collection (no. 26). The English original, The Dean's December, was published in 1982. Spanish edition of 1983.
