«Temperamentales» is the choral novel by Francisco Candel, published by Ediciones G.P. in paperback (332 pages, in Spanish).
A group of tuberculosis patients convalesce in an inn in the Catalan Pyrenees while their passions clash with the repressive morality of the postwar period. Candel, who experienced a similar convalescence, portrays these temperamental souls with irony and tenderness; a game of checkers closes with an unexpected ending. The edition restores the censored passages.
The novel appeared in 1960 in Barcelona, originally published by Destino; this edition is from 1984.
For readers of Spanish postwar social fiction seeking a complete edition, with Candel's ironic and humane view of convalescence.
Francisco Candel Tortajada, usually known as well as Paco Candel, was a Valencian-born writer and journalist who lived most of his life in Barcelona.
