«Pan negro» is the coming-of-age novel by Emili Teixidor, published by Booket in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
In the harshest years of the Spanish postwar period, Andrés, son of an imprisoned Republican, is sent to relatives at a farmhouse while his mother works in the factory. Between fear and repression, the boy discovers the adult world, the awakening of love and the value of friendship; his transformation from loser to winner serves as a metaphor for a country that passively accepts another's victory.
Originally published in Catalan as «Pa negre» in 2003, it is the novel on which the film of the same name is based. It won the Joan Crexells, Lletra d'Or and Maria Àngels Anglada prizes.
For readers of historical fiction and coming-of-age novels about the Spanish Civil War and postwar period.
Emili Teixidor i Viladecàs was a Catalan writer, journalist and pedagogue. He wrote over thirty novels, mainly for children and teenagers, but he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed adult novel, Black Bread, which inspired a film of the same name.
