«Vida serena» is the short novel by Lajos Zilahy, published by Plaza & Janés in 1977 in paperback (122 pages, in Spanish).
A short novel set in a wartime context that addresses disability and the experience of mutilation through accident or illness. Young Andris and Etel live an impossible love bound by abandonment and the limitation of their senses, in a story of sensuality and mystery with an unexpected ending.
The first Spanish edition of «Vida serena» has a translation by F. Oliver-Brachfeld and cover illustration by Gracia. The novel was originally published in 1947 under the title Csendes Élet.
Lajos Zilahy was a Hungarian novelist and playwright. Born in Nagyszalonta, Austria-Hungary, he studied law at the University of Budapest before serving in the Austro-Hungarian army during the First World War, in which he was wounded on the Eastern Front – an experience which later informed his bestselling novel Two Prisoners.
