«El lugar de un hombre» is the novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Destino in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is based on a real event: in 1926, a man returns to the village for whose murder two innocent men had been convicted, having confessed to a non-existent crime after years of torture and imprisonment. Sender, who covered the case for El Sol, turns it into a reflection on identity, guilt and memory around the famous crime of Cuenca.
The work belongs to the Destinolibro collection, number 32. The text was originally published in 1939.
For readers of Spanish realist fiction with historical and social background, particularly those interested in the real case of the crime of Cuenca.
