Luz de juventud es una novela del autor alemán Ralf Rothmann, publicada en español por Libros del Asteroide. La historia sigue a Julian, un niño de doce años que vive en la cuenca del Ruhr en la década de los sesenta. A medida que su padre sufre problemas de salud por el trabajo en las minas de carbón y su madre se muestra distante, Julian encuentra apoyo en su hermana pequeña y en una vecina adolescente. Durante un verano en el que se queda solo con su padre, Julian comienza a tomar conciencia del fin de su infancia, explorando temas de crecimiento, familia y la pérdida de la inocencia en un entorno marcado por la dureza del trabajo minero.

Ralf Rothmann is a German novelist, poet, and dramatist. His novels have been translated into several languages, with Knife Edge, Young Light, Fire Doesn't Burn, To Die in Spring and The God of that Summer being translated into English. The main subjects of his work are the bourgeois and proletarian realities of life in the Ruhr area as well as Berlin, with an autobiographically colored focus on alienation, the attempt to escape these situations, and common solitude. With the major novels Im Frühling sterben, Der Gott jenes Sommers and Die Nacht unterm Schnee, Rothmann goes back to the time of the Second World War and explores the horrors for the individual. The five volumes of short stories Ein Winter unter Hirschen, Rehe am Meer, Shakespeares Hühner, Hotel der Schlaflosen and Museum der Einsamkeit complete the author's extensive oeuvre.
