«Las desventuras del viejo Werther» is the novel by Bohumil Hrabal, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (110 pages, in Spanish).
The writer affectionately portrays his uncle, a drinker, seducer, and braggart who dodges responsibilities. In seven «atestados» he recalls his youth and loves in Prague under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. With market squares and gloomy alleys, Hrabal rescues a vanished world in a torrential prose where sentences, images, and memories merge.
Written in 1947, it was not published in Czechoslovakia until 1990. It belongs to the Península Narrativa collection (number 53). Original title: «Utrpení starého Werthera».
Bohumil Hrabal was a Czech writer, often named among the best Czech writers of the 20th century.
