Nada

Laforet, Carmen
Teruel Benavente, José (ed.)

"Nada" is a novel of arrival in which its protagonist, Andrea, is presented in a world that not only is not hers, but that progressively disappoints her. Her central experience in this hostile environment will consist of learning to look, an experience in the complex course of which she will become an adult. As a literary artifact, it is a work that shines beyond the environment that accompanied its appearance (immediate post-war Spain) and that reveals with impressive clarity the incurable wound of living in a world that is not understood. The metaphor of nothingness not as emptiness, but as a synonym for the incomprehensible and its consequent disappointment, will, therefore, be one of the keys to its relevance and beauty.
