«Las estrellas del Sur» is the novel by Julien Green published in 1992 by Anaya & Mario Muchnik, in paperback (696 pages, in Spanish).
A long, self-contained novel set against the American Civil War. It follows several wealthy families from Savannah, Richmond and Charleston: a young widow with her son, loves, parties and plantations, the mystery of mixed-race Caribbean origins, and the tension between the pragmatic North and the slave-owning South, which leads to war.
The original French title is Les Étoiles du Sud. This Spanish edition includes the translation by Mauricio Wacquez.
For those interested in historical fiction and family sagas with the American Civil War as a backdrop.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
