Leer másUna novela torrencial sobre la España negra que nunca se borró de la conciencia literaria de Camilo José CelaPrimera novela publicada por Camilo José Cela después de que le concedieran el premio Nobel de Literatura en 1989, El asesinato del perdedor tiene por hilo conductor el acoso del que un juez hace objeto a una pareja a la que descubrió besándose y magreándose en un local público. Ese planteamiento en apariencia sencillo da pie a un incontenible torrente de anécdotas, diálogos escacharrantes y cruces de personajes reales y ficticios, en el que la prosa siempre magistral de Cela, en plena madurez, despliega su personalísima cifra de humor, procacidad, lirismo, barbarie y sabiduría, obligando al lector a revisar todos sus prejuicios sobre el género.Sobre el autor y su obra:«Siempre que pienso en Cela sonrío para adentro la mar de agradecido, porque sin él no hubiese tenido carrera, ni vida, ni nada.»Ray Loriga«Los relojes corren a favor de Camilo José Cela, segundo a segundo, minuto a minuto, hasta marcar la hora exacta de su eterna maestría.»Alberto Olmos«El último gran escritor español, creador de fábulas, de lenguaje, de palabras, con una capacidad prodigiosa para expresarse.»Francisco Umbral«Ser escritor hasta sus últimas consecuencias implicaba, para Camilo José Cela, un completo haz de responsabilidades: desde el denodado esfuerzo por dominar el idioma hasta la hábil administración de una presencia social.»Darío Villanueva

Camilo José Cela Trulock (Iria Flavia, A Coruña, May 11, 1916 - Madrid, January 17, 2002), Spanish writer and academic, is one of the essential authors in the canon of Spanish-language literature. In 1925, he moved to Madrid with his family and in 1934 began studying Medicine at the Complutense University, which he soon abandoned to attend as an auditor the classes of Contemporary Literature by Pedro Salinas. It is Salinas, to whom Cela showed his first poems, a key figure in the settling of his literary vocation

In 1940, Cela tried a new career, this time in Law -which he would also end up abandoning-, while writing his first major work, La familia de Pascual Duarte (1942), whose second edition had to be published in Buenos Aires after being banned by the censorship. This first novel was soon followed by Viaje a La Alcarria (1948) and La colmena (1951), published in Buenos Aires and immediately banned in Spain. In 1954 he moved to Mallorca and shortly after, in 1957, he was appointed academic of the language. His work, extensive and varied, has been published regularly since then

Among them, in addition to the titles already mentioned, it is worth highlighting El gallego y su cuadrilla (1949), Del Miño al Bidasoa (1952), San Camilo, 1936 (1969), Mazurca para dos muertos (1983, National Narrative Award) or Cristo versus Arizona (1988). To these should be added his work as a columnist for various newspapers. Among the awards he treasured throughout his life, it is mandatory to mention the Prince of Asturias Award for Letters (1987), the Nobel Prize in Literature (1989) and the Miguel de Cervantes (1995)
