Description
El Camino by Miguel Delibes explores the complexities of crossing boundaries in pursuit of maturity and social advancement. With a blend of humour, satire, pathos, and tragedy, this novel artfully examines the human experience within shared social and natural spaces. This new annotated edition includes an introductory essay discussing green issues, attitudes towards the Spanish peasantry under Franco, and the function of the novel's subtle comedy. The edition also features explanatory notes on the text, discussion topics, and a comprehensive Spanish-English glossary. Suitable for English-speaking students of Spanish literature and culture at school and university, this annotated version provides valuable insights into Delibes' work and its relevance to contemporary issues.
