Description

The Carpenter's Pencil by Manuel Rivas is set against the backdrop of Spain's devastating civil war. In a prison in Santiago de Compostela, an artist uses a carpenter's pencil to sketch the faces of his fellow Republican prisoners, rather than reproducing the sculptured figures of the cathedral. Years later, a survivor returns to Galicia and memories begin to resurface. This poignant novel weaves together the horrors of war with a beautiful love story, conveying the tragedy that divided Spain and the experiences of those who lived through it. A powerful exploration of the human cost of conflict, The Carpenter's Pencil is a moving and thought-provoking read. Written in a poetic style, the book offers a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in Spanish history.
