Pascual Duarte family

Author's name: Kamilochus Cela

Pascual Duarte never lived a moment of peace in his life, never a single day of serenity, as if all the sins and crimes he committed were his way of attaining peace. Now, from his prison cell, he writes his memoirs while awaiting the enforcement of the law and the judiciary, hoping to find a solution in writing.
In this novel, considered one of the best Spanish novels, Camilo José Cela, in a unique style that blends sarcasm, violence, and tenderness, narrates the events of Pascual's life, who was truly the son of the disintegrated and marginalized Duarte family, and also its logical result, attempting to pose major questions such as: How is violence born and what is it nourished by? And how?
The most brutal and cruel acts can be evoked with the coldest and most indifferent expressions.
