«Parábola del náufrago» is a satirical novel by Spanish writer Miguel Delibes, published by Destino in paperback (229 pages, in Spanish).
In a Castilian city dominated by don Abdón, men turned into dogs are shot and employees add up absurd figures. Jacinto San José, the only one who questions that senseless world, is banished to a place where he ends up building his own trap. Delibes weaves a fable against autocracy, consumer society and the cult of personality.
The novel was originally published in 1969; this 1984 edition belongs to the Destinolibro collection, number 214.
For readers of Spanish fiction seeking a social satire with formal experimentation and political undertones.
