«El peso de las sombras» is the novel by Patrick White, published in 1974 by Euros in hardcover (296 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Theodora Goodman, an unmarried woman who, after her mother's death, travels to England and confronts memories of the past and the search for her identity in a world that feels alien to her. Loneliness, alienation, and the search for meaning run through the novel.
The novel was originally published as 'The Aunt's Story' in 1948. This Spanish edition, with a version by Salvador Guillén, is part of the Rojo y Negro Collection.
A read for those seeking classic novels of an introspective nature, focused on memory, identity, and loneliness.
Patrick Victor Martindale White was an Australian novelist and playwright who explored themes of religious experience, personal identity and the conflict between visionary individuals and a materialistic, conformist society. Influenced by the modernism of James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf, he developed a complex literary style and a body of work that challenged the dominant realist prose tradition of his home country, was satirical of Australian society, and sharply divided local critics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973 and is the only Australian to have been awarded it.
