Synopsis "Memorias (in Spanish)"

Los dos libros memorísticos de Camilo José Cela en un solo volumen: La rosa (1959) y Memorias... Leer másLos dos libros memorísticos de Camilo José Cela en un solo volumen: Larosa (1959) yMemorias,entendimientos yvoluntades (1993)Con treinta y cuatro años Cela emprendió la escritura de sus memorias, que iban a llevar por título general Lacucaña y comprender varios volúmenes. Sin embargo, solo alcanzaron a ver la luz los dos aquí reunidos. De 1959 es Larosa, un libro insólito en la trayectoria del autor por la delicadeza y la ternura que emana la intensa evocación de su infancia en Galicia. Hubo que esperar más de tres décadas para que apareciera Memorias,entendimientos yvoluntades (1993), en el que Cela narra el traslado de la familia a Madrid en 1925, sus años de estudios y su vivencia de la República y la Guerra Civil, para concluir con la publicación, en 1942, de su primer libro: Lafamilia dePascual Duarte.Reseñas:«Yo diría que la creación más afortunada de Cela es la leyenda de su propia persona.»Juan Luis Alborg«La rosa [está] escrita en la plenitud del autor, con ese estilo personal e inconfundible que lo acredita como uno de los prosistas castellanos cimeros de nuestro siglo.»Santos Sanz Villanueva

Camilo José Cela Trulock (Iria Flavia, A Coruña, May 11, 1916 - Madrid, January 17, 2002), Spanish writer and academic, is one of the essential authors in the canon of Spanish-language literature. In 1925, he moved to Madrid with his family and in 1934 began studying Medicine at the Complutense University, which he soon abandoned to attend as an auditor the classes of Contemporary Literature by Pedro Salinas. It is Salinas, to whom Cela showed his first poems, a key figure in the settling of his literary vocation

In 1940, Cela tried a new career, this time in Law -which he would also end up abandoning-, while writing his first major work, La familia de Pascual Duarte (1942), whose second edition had to be published in Buenos Aires after being banned by the censorship. This first novel was soon followed by Viaje a La Alcarria (1948) and La colmena (1951), published in Buenos Aires and immediately banned in Spain. In 1954 he moved to Mallorca and shortly after, in 1957, he was appointed academic of the language. His work, extensive and varied, has been published regularly since then

Among them, in addition to the titles already mentioned, it is worth highlighting El gallego y su cuadrilla (1949), Del Miño al Bidasoa (1952), San Camilo, 1936 (1969), Mazurca para dos muertos (1983, National Narrative Award) or Cristo versus Arizona (1988). To these should be added his work as a columnist for various newspapers. Among the awards he treasured throughout his life, it is mandatory to mention the Prince of Asturias Award for Letters (1987), the Nobel Prize in Literature (1989) and the Miguel de Cervantes (1995)
