«Las hogueras» is the novel by Concha Alós, published by Planeta in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
Four characters seek happiness on a solitary beach in Mallorca: Sibila, a former Parisian model; Archibald, a wealthy intellectual; Daniel el Monegro, an instinctive man with a murky past, and Asunción Molino, a teacher with a frustrated vocation. Their cravings for life burn out like sterile bonfires.
Concha Alós won the Premio Planeta with this work in 1964; the novel was originally published that same year. The present edition is from 1983.
For readers of Spanish narrative and contemporary fiction interested in character-driven novels with social and poetic undertones.
