Romanticism

Manuel Longares · 2001 CE · Novel · Spanish · Contemporary

The bourgeois families of Madrid's Salamanca district are followed from Franco's death into the 1980s, as old pieties and new freedoms rub against each other in drawing rooms and offices. Longares writes the transition from the inside of the class that lived it. It won the Premio de la Critica in 2001.
