«Sábado por la noche y domingo por la mañana» is the novel by Alan Sillitoe published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (237 pages, in Spanish).
Arthur Seaton, a young factory worker in Nottingham in the 1950s, leads a double life: the monotony of the factory and a routine of alcohol, women and defiance of authority. Sillitoe thus portrays the British working class, social alienation, consumerism and the need to find one's own meaning.
The work opens the Seaton series. The original «Saturday Night and Sunday Morning» (1958) is published translated into Spanish by Daniel Laks. The work won the Authors' Club Best First Novel Award in 1958.
Recommended for readers of twentieth-century British classics and social fiction about the working class.
Alan Sillitoe FRSL was an English writer and one of the so-called "angry young men" of the 1950s. He disliked the label, as did most of the other writers to whom it was applied. He is best known for his debut novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and his early short story "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", both of which were adapted into films.
