«El paciente inglés» is the historical fiction novel by Michael Ondaatje, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardcover (304 pages, in Spanish).
At the end of the Second World War, four strangers meet in a ruined villa in Tuscany: a burned man without memory, a nurse, a Sikh bomb-disposal expert and a disillusioned survivor. Their memories, which travel to the African desert, reveal a story of love and jealousy as they rebuild their identities.
Originally published in 1992 as «The English Patient», it won the Booker Prize and was adapted into a movie in 1996. The Spanish translation is by Carlos Manzano.
For readers of literary fiction, especially those looking for Booker-winning novels about the Second World War.
Philip Michael Ondaatje is a Ceylon-born Canadian poet, fiction writer and essayist.
