«Naufragios» is Julien Green's novel of intimate drama, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (293 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows characters who know of their failure and cannot change it. There is barely any external action: all the tension is internal, with lives flowing calmly on the surface while turbulence stirs them in the depths. Compared to Green's early works, the subjective and the dreamlike predominate here, in an oppressive atmosphere.
This edition belongs to the Austral Collection (no. 15) and includes an introduction by Rafael Conte. The work was originally published in 1932 under the title 'Épaves'.
A work for those who appreciate introspective narrative and the transition from external violence to subjectivity in Julien Green's fiction.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
