En esta novela envolvente, Antonio Muñoz Molina nos brinda un fabuloso relato del paso de las generaciones y de un hombre que busca comprender cómo llegó a ser quien 
Un traductor simultáneo que viaja de ciudad en ciudad le cuenta su vida a una mujer, evocando en su relato las voces de los habitantes de Mágina, su pueblo natal. Así sabremos de su bisabuelo Pedro, que era expósito y estuvo en Cuba; de su abuelo, guardia de asalto que en 1939 acabó en un campo de concentración; de sus padres, campesinos de resignada y oscura vida, y de su propia niñez y turbulenta adolescencia en un lugar en plena transformación. 
En un período de tiempo comprendido entre el asesinato de Prim en 1870 y la Guerra del Golfo, estos y otros personajes van configurando el curso de la historia de esa comunidad y de España, formando un apasionante mosaico de vidas a través de las cuales se recrea un pasado que ilumina y explica la personalidad del narrador. Esta prodigiosa novela, urdida en torno a circunstancias biográficas, se transforma en una peripecia histórica surcada por tramas que se entrelazan con la principal, la enriquecen y se enriquecen con ella.

Literature & Fiction

Molina, Antonio Muñoz

Genre Fiction

Rayo

From one of Spain's most celebrated writers, an extraordinary, inspired book-at once fiction, history, and memoir-that draws on the Sephardic diaspora, the Holocaust, and Stalin's purges to tell a twentieth-century story. Shifting seamlessly from the past to the present and following the routes of escape across countries and continents, Muñoz Molina evokes people real and imagined who come together in a richly allusive pattern-from Eugenia Ginsburg to Grete Buber-Neumann, the one on a train to the gulag, the other to a Nazi concentration camp; from a shoemaker and a nun who become lovers in a small town in Spain to Primo Levi bound for Auschwitz. And others-some well known, others unknown-all voices of separation, nostalgia, love, and endless waiting. Written with clarity of vision and passion, in a style both lyrical and accessible, Sepharad makes the experience our own. A brilliant achievement.

Contemporary

Houghton, mifflin, harcourt

It’s the late sixties, the last dark years of Franco’s dictatorship: Minaya, a university student in Madrid, is caught up in the student protests and the police are after him. He moves to his uncle Manuel’s country estate in the small town of Mágina to write his thesis on an old friend of Manuel’s, an obscure republican poet named Jacinto Solana. The country house is full of traces of the poet—notes, photographs, journals—and Minaya soon discovers that, thirty years earlier, during the Spanish Civil War, both his uncle and Solana were in love with the same woman, the beautiful, unsettling Mariana. Engaged to Manuel, she was shot in the attic of the house on her wedding night. With the aid of Inés, a maid, Minaya begins to search for Solana’s lost masterpiece, a novel called Beatus Ille. Looking for a book, he unravels a crime.

United States

A hypnotic novel intertwining the author’s past with James Earl Ray’s attempt to escape after shooting Martin Luther King Jr.
The year is 1968 and James Earl Ray has just shot Martin Luther King Jr. For two months he evades authorities, driving to Canada, securing a fake passport, and flying to London, all while relishing the media’s confusion about his location and his image on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. Eventually he lands at the Hotel Portugal in Lisbon, where he anxiously awaits a visa to Angola. But the visa never comes, and for his last ten days of freedom, Ray walks around Lisbon, paying for his pleasures and rehearsing his fake identities. 
Using recently declassified FBI files, Antonio Muñoz Molina reconstructs Ray’s final steps through the Portuguese capital, taking us inside his feverish mind, troubled past, and infamous crime. But Lisbon is also the city that inspired Muñoz Molina’s first novel, A Winter in Lisbon, and as he returns now, thirty years later, it becomes the stage for and witness to three alternating stories: Ray in 1968 at the center of an international manhunt; a thirty-year-old Muñoz Molina in 1987 struggling to find his literary voice; and the author in the present, reflecting on his life and the form of the novel as an instrument for imagining the world through another person’s eyes. 
Part historical fiction, part fictional memoir, Like a Fading Shadow masterfully explores the borders between the imagined, the reported, and the experienced past in the construction of identity.

Like a Fading Shadow: A Novel

Literary

Farrar. Straus and Giroux

Winner of the 2020 Medici Prize for Foreign Novel From the award-winning author of the Man Booker Prize finalistLike a Fading Shadow, Antonio Muñoz Molina presents a flâneur-novel tracing the path of a nameless wanderer as he walks the length of Manhattan, and his mind. De Quincey, Baudelaire, Poe, Joyce, Benjamin, Melville, Lorca, Whitman . . . walkers and city dwellers all, collagists and chroniclers, picking the detritus of their eras off the filthy streets and assembling it into something new, shocking, and beautiful. InTo Walk Alone in the Crowd, Antonio Muñoz Molina emulates these classic inspirations, following their peregrinations and telling their stories in a book that is part memoir, part novel, part chronicle of urban wandering. A skilled collagist himself, Muñoz Molina here assembles overheard conversations, subway ads, commercials blazing away on public screens, snatches from books hurriedly packed into bags or shoved under one's arm, mundane anxieties, and the occasional true flash of insight--struggling to announce itself amid this barrage of data--into a poem of contemporary life: an invitation to let oneself be carried along by the sheer energy of the digital metropolis. A denunciation of the harsh noise of capitalism, of the conversion of everything into either merchandise or garbage (or both),To Walk Alone in the Crowd is also a celebration of the beauty and variety of our world, of the ecological and aesthetic gaze that can, even now, recycle waste into art, and provide an opportunity for rebirth.

To Walk Alone in the Crowd: A Novel

October 1936. Spanish architect Ignacio Abel arrives at Penn Station, the final stop on his journey from war-torn Madrid, where he has left behind his wife and children, abandoning them to uncertainty. Crossing the fragile borders of Europe, he reflects on months of fratricidal conflict in his embattled country, his own transformation from a bricklayer’s son to a respected bourgeois husband and professional, and the all-consuming love affair with an American woman that forever alters his life. Winner of the 2012 Prix Méditerranée Étranger and hailed as a masterpiece, In the Night of Time is a sweeping, grand novel and an indelible portrait of a shattered society, written by one of Spain’s most important contemporary novelists.

HarperVia

"Vine a Madrid para matar a un hombre a quien no habia visto nunca." Con esas palabras se inicia Beltenebros, una novela por Antonio Muñoz Molina, que arrastra al lector a un mundo lleno de intriga y traición.Darman trabaja para una organización comunista clandestina en la que su nombre es un mito, pues todos saben que es el mejor en su especialidad. Su misión: buscar y eliminar a Andrade, suspuesto traidor que dirige la misma organización en Madrid. En un club nocturno Darman conoce a Rebeca, una mujer bella y misteriosa que le da información al tiempo que lo encubre para que logre salir del país.Esta novela de doble traición revela una meticulosa simetría oculta: juego de resonancias, de identidades dudosas en el mundo asfixante de la clandestinidad. En Beltenebros, la magnífica habilidad narrativa de Muñoz Molina, con su vigorosa maestra técnica y su estilo preciso y envolvente, alcanza un grado tal que no tiene comparación entre la narrativa española contemporánea.
