«El paciente inglés» is the historical novel by Michael Ondaatje, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (332 pages, in Spanish).
In the final days of the Second World War, four people live together in a ruined villa in Tuscany: a burned patient with no memory, a nurse who cares for him, a cynical amputee, and a Sikh sapper. Their memories, jealousies, and revelations weave a story of love, loss, and the search for identity amid the conflict.
1997 edition in the Jet collection; translation by Carlos Manzano of the original The English Patient. The work won the Booker Prize in 1992.
For readers of historical and literary fiction, and for those who want to discover the novel on which the film that won nine Academy Awards is based.
Philip Michael Ondaatje is a Ceylon-born Canadian poet, fiction writer and essayist.
