«León de ojos verdes» is the novel by Manuel Vicent, published by Alfaguara in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
In the summer of 1953, a young aspiring writer vacations at the Hotel Voramar and mingles with singular guests: a murderer, an old doctor of Barojian lineage, a Francoist bigwig, and a French teenager named Brigitte Bardot, still unknown. On the hotel terrace linger the echoes of when it served as a blood hospital for the International Brigades during the civil war, and the shadows of John Dos Passos, Dorothy Parker, and Paul Robeson. That summer, a period movie is shot there among extras in bodices, picture hats, and hard straw hats.
It belongs to Alfaguara's Narrativa Hispánica collection. 2008 edition, in paperback with flaps, with 200 pages in Spanish.
For readers of contemporary Spanish literary fiction and followers of Manuel Vicent, with his blend of memory, history, and coastal evocation.
