Sefarad, Antonio Muñoz Molina's masterpiece, is a profound reflection on exile and displacement in the 20th century. Through the intertwined stories of real and fictional characters, the author immerses us in a world of intolerance, persecution, and irrationality. Primo Levi, Franz Kafka, Evgenia Ginzburg, Milena Jesenska, Dolores Ibárruri, and Walter Benjamin cross paths in these pages, sharing the stigma of being turned into what others say about them, forced to abandon their lives and homes. Sefarad, the Hebrew name for Spain, becomes here a symbol of all possible exiles, from the Holocaust and Nazism to the Gulag, the Spanish Civil War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Inquisition, and the expulsion of the Jews.
Antonio Muñoz Molina is a Spanish writer, a full member of the Royal Spanish Academy since 8 June 1995. He received the 1991 Premio Planeta, the 2013 Jerusalem Prize, and the 2013 Prince of Asturias Award for literature.
