«Por el pasado, llorarás» is the prison novel by Chester Himes, published by El Aleph Editores in hardcover (448 pages, in Spanish).
It narrates a young man's stay in prison, a harsh and moving experience inspired by the author's own imprisonment. Originally conceived as «Cast the First Stone», the novel was rewritten due to editorial demands; this edition restores the original text, with its poetic language and uncompromising gaze.
«Por el pasado, llorarás» belongs to the Modernos y Clásicos collection (no. 81) and recovers the original text of «Cast the First Stone», published in 1952.
A work for readers of crime fiction and prison fiction, particularly for those who follow Chester Himes's narrative.
