Alice Munro

1971

Su única novela propiamente dicha, aunque estructurada como historias enlazadas. Sigue a Del Jordan mientras crece en un pequeño pueblo de Ontario, descubriendo la sexualidad, la ambición intelectual y los límites sociales impuestos a las mujeres.

Fiction Fiction Maurice

E. M. Forster

1971

Maurice is discomforted by the unrequited love, which opened his heart and mind to his own sexual identity. To be true to itself, it goes against the essence of the rules of class, wealth and politics of society, which are often not expressed.

Fiction Fiction The Scorpion God

William Golding

1971

The three short novels gathered in this volume under this title reveal a common technique in William Golding: the careful reconstruction or plausible conjecture of the past are sometimes relativized by the paradox that outlines an intentional anachronism or an impossible event, perhaps to emphasize that the historical distance has no other purpose but to facilitate the deployment of the symbolic and moral dimensions of the fable.

Fiction Fiction The tower was watching

Ana María Matute

1971

Located in the dark, magical and sensual world of the Middle Ages, made of heroism and superstition, violence and barbarism, this novel is, in fact, a true book of cavalry written in autobiographical form, in which the years of formation and learning of a young cavalry hero are narrated from within in the light of modern sensibility.
