«Pabellón de reposo» is the novel by Spanish writer Camilo José Cela, published by RBA in hardcover (184 pages, in Spanish).
In a tuberculosis sanatorium, seven patients spend their last days isolated from the outside world. They barely communicate with one another and pour their fears, memories and hopes in the face of illness and death into diaries and letters. Cela offers a reflection on solitude, human fragility and the meaning of life in extreme conditions.
Originally published in 1943, the novel is based on two stays by Cela in tuberculosis sanatoriums. The 1992 edition belongs to the Narrativa Actual collection, number 18.
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish fiction and intimate stories about illness and solitude.
Camilo José Cela y Trulock, 1st Marquess of Iria Flavia was a Spanish novelist, poet, story writer and essayist associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
