Summary: El Camino, a road for all.
Comment: I am an American student of Spanish and have been for many years. If I could shake people, Americans and others, to wake up to truly great literature I would start with Miguel Delibes because he deals with life at its irreducible beginings, a small town, a little boy and his relationships. There are no props, no embellishments only life in its atomic state.
We don't have the verbosity of Marquez as magnificent as it is. Instead we have a Spanish Checkov who tells a story simply yet oh so powerfully.
The atomic structure yields particles when we use our imaginative accelerator to split the center. The tracings yield all kinds of meaning and significance. It is a true test of the reader to come to grips with her-himself and see if you can carry the ball that Delibes has passed to you.
I recommend that you read "La Mortaja with this book. It is a short novel and even more condensed yet just as satiffying as "El Camino."

Summary: Mark Twain meets 20th century Spain in this lovely novel
Comment: If I could give this book seven stars, I would. Its small town romanticism reminds one of the Missouri of Mark Twain, with all the colorful inhabitants of a rural, agricultural community. El Camino is filled with the innocence of its 11 year old protagonist, and the painful loss of that innocence, so achingly felt by all in post-civil war Spain. A wonderful book by any speaker or student of Spanish. If this ever gets translated to English, LET ME KNOW!!!
