<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in Catalan as El mar by Aymaa, Barcelona, 1958"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A moving contribution to the tradition of the metaphysical novel as exemplified by Dostoyevsky and Bernanos, and likewise a worthy counterpart to the vibrant and polyphonic work of fellow Iberians Camilo Jos? Cela and Juan Goytisolo, "The Sea" is a cornerstone of postwar Catalan literature. Set in a tubercular sanatorium in Mallorca after the Spanish Civil War, it tells the story of three children sharing a gruesome secret who are brought together again by chance and illness -- two patients and one nurse. A love triangle, a story of retribution, and an exploration of evil, "The Sea" is "a profound and radical descent into the depths of the human soul." (Gerard de Cortanze)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>"The Sea" is sordid and illuminating, beautiful, haunting, poetic, and full of love for its characters.--Agust? Villaronga<br><br><P> "The Sea" is sordid and illuminating, beautiful, haunting, poetic, and full of love for its characters.--Agust? Villaronga<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><P>Blai Bonet was born in Santany?, Mallorca, in 1926. A severe case of tuberculosis forced him to abandon his seminary education, but his confinement to a sanatorium led to the composition of his masterpiece, "The Sea," which won the Joanot Martorell Prize in 1957, and was adapted into an acclaimed film in 2000. Bonet died in 1997.
