«Memorias de una superviviente» is Doris Lessing's dystopian novel, published by Salvat in paperback (217 pages, in Spanish).
In a future city where rats and gangs run wild, with no government and daily violence, a middle-aged woman takes charge of a twelve-year-old girl. The novel takes the form of that woman's diary and recounts the coexistence and struggle to understand a world in ruins. Lessing defined the book as an attempt at autobiography.
This Spanish edition from 1987 belongs to the Novela y Ocio collection and includes the translation by Mireia Bofill. The work was originally published in English in 1974 under the title «The Memoirs of a Survivor».
For readers of dystopian fiction, speculative science fiction, and twentieth-century literary narrative.
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007. Lessing was born to British parents in Qajar Iran, where she lived until she was 6 in 1925. Her family then moved to Southern Rhodesia, where she remained until moving to London, England, in 1949. Her novels include The Grass Is Singing (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called Children of Violence (1952–1969), The Golden Notebook (1962), The Good Terrorist (1985), and five novels collectively known as Canopus in Argos: Archives (1979–1983).
