The Truce: The Diary of Martín Santomé: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Mario Benedetti Traducere de Harry Moralesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2015
Forty-nine, with a kind face, no serious ailments (apart from varicose veins on his ankles), a good salary and three moody children, widowed accountant Martín Santomé is about to retire. He assumes he'll take up gardening, or the guitar, or whatever retired people do. What he least expects is to fall passionately in love with his shy young employee Laura Avellaneda. As they embark upon an affair, happy and irresponsible, Martín begins to feel the weight of his quiet existence lift - until, out of nowhere, their joy is cut short.
The intimate, heartbreaking diary of an ordinary man who is reborn when he falls in love one final time, this beloved Latin American novel has been translated into twenty languages and sold millions of copies worldwide, and is now published in Penguin Classics for the first time.

Notă biografică
Mario
Orlando
Hamlet
Hardy
Brenno
Benedetti,
known
as
Mario
Benedetti,
was
a
Uruguayan
journalist,
novelist,
and
poet.
He
is
considered
one
of
the
most
important
20th
century
Latin
American
writers,
especially
in
the
Spanish-speaking
world.
A
revolutionary
and
a
passionate
romantic,
Benedetti
wrote
of
love,
anger,
political
resistance
and
redemption,
particularly
during
the
period
of
his
enforced
exile
from
Uruguay,
between
1973
and
1985.
One
of
his
last
poems
encapsulated
his
unquenchable
creative
urge:
"When
I'm
buried
/
don't
forget
to
put
a
Biro
in
my
coffin."
