Nada (Catalan Studies) Tapa blanda - 2005

The Author: Carmen Laforet at the age of 23 published her first novel Nada in 1944. It earned her the Eugenio Nadal Prize, a most prestigious and coveted literary award in Spain. In 1948 La Real Academia Espaola, an institution that from its inception in 1713 had refused membership to women writers, awarded her its Fastenrath Prize. Since then Laforet has continued to publish fiction and nonfiction, though Nada remains her masterpiece.
