About The Holy Innocents: A Novel (The Margellos World Republic of Letters)

A shattering tale of oppression and resistance during Franco’s dictatorship, by a beloved Spanish novelist “Passion in ordinary lives, sobriety and melancholy are the flavors of Delibes’s writing . . . with a profound empathy for nature and the poor. . . . The Holy Innocents [is] a ferocious story.”–The Guardian Named One of the Best 100 Spanish-Language Novels of the Twentieth Century (El Mundo) o Adapted into an Award-Winning Film by Mario Camus In the arid province of Extremadura in 1960s Spain, life on a country estate carries on as it has for wealthy landowners live in luxury while workers endure lives of poverty and humiliation. Amid this exploitation and injustice live Regula, an estate’s gatekeeper, and her husband, Paco, the hunting attendant of the contemptuous Senorito Ivan. Regula’s brother Azarias toils as a farmhand, but he prefers chasing tawny owls at night, training his pet jackdaw, and caring for his young niece, who is bedridden. When Paco is injured, the nature-loving Azarias is forced to take over as hunting attendant. But after Senorito Ivan commits an act of enormous cruelty following an unsuccessful hunt, it is only a matter of time before the simmering tensions between the aristocracy and the workers explode. A perennial Spanish classic, translated into twelve languages but never before into English, The Holy Innocents is a searing tale of human cruelty and alienation, in which resistance and liberation are not just necessary but possible.
