«La hora 25» is a historical novel by Romanian writer C. Virgil Gheorghiu, published by Ediciones Orbis in hardcover (347 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Iohann Moritz, a Romanian peasant swept up by World War II and the machinery of totalitarian regimes. From the Nazi to the Soviet occupation, his ordeal shows how the individual loses his name, identity and freedom in the face of state bureaucracy.
Originally published in 1949 as La 25e heure, this 1984 edition belongs to the 'Biblioteca de grandes éxitos' collection (number 32), with a translation from the French by Jesús Ruiz y Ruiz.
For readers of war fiction and twentieth-century European classics interested in critiques of state power.
