«Han matado a un hombre, han roto un paisaje» is the novel by Francisco Candel, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (412 pages, in Spanish).
An elegiac novel that alternates the gaze of man and that of the landscape, both condemned to death and destruction against the backdrop of postwar poverty. Against that bitterness, Candel sets a hymn to the barraca as a symbol of the era and the figure of a priest who absolves the protagonist in a climate of hunger and forgiveness.
With a prologue by Ignasi Riera, the novel appeared in 1988; Francisco Candel (1925-2007) is its author.
For readers of Spanish fiction who want to approach an elegiac view of the postwar period and the human landscape.
Francisco Candel Tortajada, usually known as well as Paco Candel, was a Valencian-born writer and journalist who lived most of his life in Barcelona.
