«El lápiz del carpintero» is the historical novel by Manuel Rivas, published by Alfaguara in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
In the summer of 1936, in the prison of Santiago de Compostela, a painter draws the Portico of Glory with a carpenter's pencil and turns his Republican companions into prophets of the relief. A guard watches him; that pencil becomes a thread of memories crossing time, a story of love and dignity on the margins of war.
This edition belongs to the Hispánica collection, is published as a twentieth-anniversary special edition, and includes the translation by Dolores Vilavedra.
Readers of historical fiction and contemporary narrative interested in the Spanish Civil War.
