Editorial Reviews

Review

"'Nada' has been acclaimed as one of Spain's most compelling and powerful novels of the century. The charm of the story and its compelling power are much deeper than its sociological significance in regions of the imagination touched by Poe, Grimm, Kafka, and Musil. Glafyra Ennis's excellent and lively translation should make 'Nada' a preferred text for courses in comparative literature and women's studies on the Bildungsroman." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Product Description

A modern Spanish classic, first published sixty years ago and translated into eighteen languages, now available in English with a preface by Mario Vargas Llosa. The novel conveys beautifully the spirit of war-torn, brutalized Barcelona.


From the Hardcover edition. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for someone learning Spanish, August 27, 1999
By "dqb" (Albuquerque, New Mexico USA) - See all my reviews
This book is about the life of a young woman in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. It is written in the language of a young woman, and, coupled with the fact that there is an English/ Spanish dictionary in the back with a section on idioms, makes it easy to read for someone learning Spanish. Beyond that, it is interesting, exciting, shocking, sad, and funny all rolled into a wonderful accounting of what life was like in this tragic era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nada, February 5, 2001
By Benjamin Macuil (Mexico City, MEX) - See all my reviews
I have read this book and i think its just one of the greatest stories of all times. It describes the life of a girl, Andrea, who moves to Barcelona to study in a post-war society. She lives in her grandmother's house with her aunt Angustias, her uncles Juan and Roman, Juan's wife, Gloria, their son, and the maid, Antonia. Carmen Laforet perfectly describes every situation, like the impression she got when she first walked into her new home, or her fragile relationship with Ena, the beautiful girl in college, who becomes her best friend, an who also is strangely attracted to Roman. This is the circle of situations in which the story develops. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good read., November 11, 2002
By A Customer
This is an excellent novel. From the very beginning Carmen Laforet manages to create a very interesting and convincing atmosphere, the characters are full and the plot does not stagnate. I have read it several times and always enjoyed it.
