Synopsis "El Aprendiz (in Spanish)"

Un regalo inmenso de una voz imprescindible en nuestras Letras.

«Existió una vez un pueblo de gente sencilla, donde cada cual vivía de su trabajo. Pero aquel pueblo pertenecía a un país que sufrió guerra y sequía, y llegó para ellos un tiempo malo y miserable. Por aquellos días llegó al pueblo un viejo con dos burros cargados de mercancías y víveres. Empezó a hacer préstamos de dinero, herramientas, enseres e incluso comida.»

Her work spans genres such as the novel, short story, and children's and youth literature, exploring themes like childhood, post-war, and fantasy. Among her most recognized works are Los hijos muertos (1958), Primera memoria (1959), Los soldados lloran de noche (1964), Olvidado rey Gudú (1996), and Paraíso inhabitado (2008).

Throughout her career, Matute received numerous awards, including the Planeta Prize (1954), the Nadal Prize (1959), the National Prize for Children's and Youth Literature (1984), the National Prize for Spanish Letters (2007), and the Cervantes Prize (2010).
