The acclaimed Galician author's novel of the Spanish Civil War is "a sincere and beautiful portrait of a brutal, ugly period of Spanish history" (
The Guardian).
Novelist and
El País journalist Manuel Rivas has been heralded as one of the brightest in a new wave of Spanish authors. Originally written in Galician, his native language,
The Carpenter's Pencil was a bestseller in Spain and has been published in nine countries.
Set in the dark days of the Spanish Civil War,
The Carpenter's Pencil charts the linked destinies of Dr. Daniel Da Barca, a Republican who cheats death in General Franco's prisons; Herbal, an illiterate Falangist and Da Barca's shadow; and an unnamed painter with the carpenter's pencil, the man who unites them in life and death. It is also the story of Marisa Mallo, loved by both Da Barca and Herbal; Pepe Sánchez, the bolero singer; "Genghis Khan," the wrestler; and the legend of two estranged sisters, Life and Death.
All of these and more are bound by the events of the war. And all are rendered, in Rivas's skillful hand, with the power of the carpenter's pencil, a pencil that draws both the measured line and the artist's fanciful vision.
