Summary
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Claudio regresses to being a five-year-old boy and revives the anecdotes, people, and historical events that impacted his life. Benedetti's gaze falls on stories that require reflection and he offers others that we can recognize as key to the life of a child, adolescent or adult: desolation at the death of a mother, the discovery of love and sex, social consciousness, the experience of pleasure, and the bearing of pain. In short, the marks left by the years and the people we love that determine our existential existence.
Author Biography
En 1953 apareció Quién de nosotros, su primera novela, pero fue el libro de cuentos Montevideanos (1959) el que supuso su consagración como narrador. Con su siguiente novela, La tregua (1960), Benedetti adquirió proyección internacional: la obra tuvo más de ciento cincuenta ediciones, fue traducida a diecinueve idiomas y llevada al cine, el teatro, la radio y la televisión. Por razones políticas, el autor abandonó su país en 1973, iniciando un largo exilio de doce años que lo llevó a residir en Argentina, Perú, Cuba y España, y que dio lugar a ese proceso posterior que a su retorno bautizó como «desexilio». Fue galardonado, entre otros, con el Premio Reina Sofía de Poesía, el Premio Iberoamericano José Martí y el Premio Internacional Menéndez Pelayo.
