Synopsis "Los Hijos Muertos (in Spanish)"

Galardonada con el Premio de la Crítica 1958 y el Premio Nacional de Literatura 1959, Los hijos muertos constituye uno de los principales hitos en la carrera literaria de Ana María Matute. Esta novela pertenece a la primera época de la escritora, y a través de los personajes se respira una dura crítica del fariseísmo, la defensa de la moral natural y la libertad de sentimientos. Ambientada en la guerra civil española, la autora ha empleado una prosa rica, Ilena de imágenes y metáforas, para mostrarnos un mundo lírico, vago y misterioso en el que transcurren las historias de unos seres que habitan en un bosque, sus relaciones, sus amores y su lucha contra el orden establecido.
