No ventre do silencio

Synopsis of No ventre do silencio

In 'No ventre do silencio', X. L. Méndez Ferrín transports us to the Compostela of the late 50s, where a group of university students lives between obscurantism and the awakening of a new nationalist thought. The novel, rich in images and aromas, is a parody of the estudiantina genre and a reflection on memory, initiation and learning in times of silence. Through a lucid prose and an extensive gallery of characters, the author offers us a choral vision of an era dominated by political fanaticism and the smell of incense.
