«Extramuros» is the novel by Jesús Fernández Santos published by Seix Barral in paperback.
In an impoverished convent in sixteenth-century Spain, cloistered life is shaken by the encounter between faith, mysticism, and repressed desires. The novel contrasts opposing characters and builds an atmosphere of contained violence, where extreme religiosity coexists with passion and guilt.
Extramuros was awarded the Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 1979; this edition belongs to Seix Barral's Biblioteca Breve collection. Text in Spanish.
A work of interest to readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and to those who appreciate historical novels with a dense atmosphere and psychological tension.
