«La tregua» is the novel by Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti, published by Cátedra in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The novel takes the form of an intimate diary: Martín Santomé, a widowed office worker from Montevideo nearing retirement, narrates his monotonous existence, divided between work, coffee, and adult children. The arrival of Laura Avellaneda, a young colleague, seems to open a horizon of happiness for him, but that truce will be cut short.
Prepared by Eduardo Nogareda for the Letras Hispánicas collection at Cátedra; it is the 20th edition of a novel originally published in 1960.
A classic of twentieth-century Latin American narrative, for readers of Spanish-language literature seeking a story about routine, solitude, and love.
