«Los románticos» is the novel by Indian writer Pankaj Mishra, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (278 pages, in Spanish).
Samar, a young Indian from a fallen Brahmin family, rents a room in Benares after his mother's death. Taking refuge in literature, he moves between two poles: the refined Miss West with her Western circle, and the student leader Rajesh; the novel explores identity, solitude, and cultural clash in contemporary India.
Published in 2000, it belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection (number 465); the translation is by Benito Gómez Ibáñez.
For readers of literary fiction interested in contemporary India and the clash of cultures.
