«Nada» is the existentialist novel by Carmen Laforet, published by Booket in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Andrea arrives in Barcelona to study literature after the Civil War and clashes with the oppressive, poor atmosphere of her grandmother's house, populated by unsettling characters. The novel opposes that family microcosm to the fragile cordiality of the university, centered on the luminous Ena, and stands out for the sensitivity with which it recreates a female voice.
Carmen Laforet's first novel won the Nadal Prize in 1945. This edition belongs to Booket's Special Collection.
For readers of Spanish fiction interested in the postwar period and female voices.
Carmen Laforet was a Spanish author who wrote in the period after the Spanish Civil War. An important European writer, her works contributed to the school of Existentialist Literature and her first novel Nada continued the Spanish tremendismo literary style begun by Camilo José Cela with his novel, La familia de Pascual Duarte. She received the Premio Nadal in 1944.
