Wolf Moon
Wolf Moon | Julio Llamazares
2 posts | 2 read
Having lost the Civil War in Spain, four republican rebels lead a fugitive existence deep in the Cantabrian mountains. Wounded and hungry the rebels are frequently drawn from the safety of the mountains into the villages they once inhabited, risking their lives and the lives of anyone helping them. Faced with the lonely mountains, its harsh winters and unforgiving summers, it is only a matter of time before the Fascists hunt them down. Llamazares's lyrical prose serves to animate the wilderness, making the landscape as much a witness to the brutality of the Franco regime as the persecuted villagers and republicans.

Fantastic

Superbly written and translated. The most poetic prose imaginable which makes the hardship of life and the environment around the characters even more stark.

Another off my pile...
Translated novel, set in the Spanish civil war. It's rather short but full.ofbpoetic descriptions and imagery.
