«Juventud» is the second installment of J.M. Coetzee's fictionalized memoirs, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
A student in 1950s South Africa yearns to escape his country: from his mother's suffocating love, a father haunted by his mistakes, and a possible revolution. He studies mathematics, reads poetry and saves to turn life into art, but in London the routine of a programmer and loveless relationships distance him from writing.
Part of the trilogy «Escenas de una vida de provincias», completed by «Infancia» and «Verano». Debolsillo's Contemporánea collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and of Coetzee's work, Nobel Prize in Literature, interested in the portrait of youth and artistic vocation.
