«La nieve está de luto» is the novel by Henri Troyat, published by Alfaguara in paperback (131 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the Alps, it narrates the confrontation between two men in a snowy, isolated landscape. The snow and the tension between the protagonists mark a tragic story. The cover shows a bundled-up man carrying a baby wrapped in blankets, with mountains and a small plane in the background.
Originally published in French as «La neige en deuil» in 1952, the Spanish edition is from 1989. It was awarded the Grand Prize of Prince Rainier of Monaco.
Catalogued as young adult fiction, it may also appeal to readers of French classics and those seeking a tragedy set in the mountains.
Henri Troyat was a Russian-French writer, biographer, historian, and novelist.
