«El pianista» is the novel by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán published in 1993 by RBA in paperback (283 pages, in Spanish).
A pianist who plays in a club, far from the dreams he had once imagined, embodies defeat while Spain lives its tragic history. The encounter with an old acquaintance, marked as a victor, unleashes memory: the protagonist becomes memory and present, exaltation and decadence. The novel defends ethics as a moral compass.
The novel originally appeared in 1985; this 1993 edition is no. 17 of the Narrativa Actual Autores de Lengua Española collection.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and for those who enjoy fiction with a historical background and memory.
Manuel Vázquez Montalbán was a prolific Spanish writer from Barcelona: journalist, novelist, poet, essayist, anthologue, prologist, humorist, critic and political prisoner as well as a gastronome and an FC Barcelona supporter.
