«El viento de la Luna» is the coming-of-age novel by Antonio Muñoz Molina, published by Seix Barral in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the summer of 1969, the novel follows a teenager from Mágina fascinated by the arrival of Apollo XI on the Moon while his surroundings remain anchored in the routine of the dictatorship. The broadcast of the moon landing becomes the thread linking his personal awakening with the end of an era: the arrival of the first television at home, the refuge of reading and a family secret rooted in the civil war.
It is part of the Biblioteca Breve collection from Seix Barral and of the Mágina narrative cycle, with works such as Beatus Ille and El jinete polaco.
A read for those interested in contemporary Spanish fiction, historical fiction and coming-of-age novels set in 20th-century Spain.
Antonio Muñoz Molina is a Spanish writer, a full member of the Royal Spanish Academy since 8 June 1995. He received the 1991 Premio Planeta, the 2013 Jerusalem Prize, and the 2013 Prince of Asturias Award for literature.
