other | During her second year, she withdrew from classes to devote herself completely to writing, and between January and September 1944 she penned her first novel, "Nada", which earned Editorial Destino's Nadal Prize in its first year of publication (1945). | ||||||
other | A novel of female adolescent development, "Nada" is considered a classic in 20th century Spanish literature; in many respects, this novel is Spain's "The Catcher in the Rye" with regard to such universal themes as existentialism and the adolescent search for identity. | ||||||
other | (See articles by Mark P. Del Mastro on the search for identity in Laforet's novels). | ||||||
other | Like Salinger, Laforet maintained a very distrustful relationship with her critics, especially after she struggled to match the outstanding critical acclaim of her first novel. | ||||||
other | However, she did publish a total of five novels: the 1952 publication of "La Isla y los demonios", which is essentially the prequel to "Nada"; her 1955 "La mujer nueva", motivated by her re-discovery of her Catholic faith and recipient of the Premio Menorca; her 1963 "La insolación", the initial installment of the tril... | ||||||
other | Following her visit to the U.S. as a guest of the State Department in 1965, Laforet published her travel notes entitled "Parelelo 35" in 1967. | ||||||
other | Her friendship with fellow Spanish author and U.S. resident Ramón J. Sender was revealed in a series of letters published in 2003 entitled "Puedo contar contigo". | ||||||
other | She also authored short stories, the majority of which were published in a 1952 collection entitled "La muerta", as well as novelettes that were published in a 1954 collection entitled "La llamada". | ||||||
other | Four additional short stories--"El infierno," "Recién casados," "El alivio," and "El secreto de la gata" —were published in the journals "Ínsula" (1944 & 1952), "Destino" (June 1953) and "Bazar" (March 1952) respectively. | ||||||
other | During her later years Laforet suffered from Alzheimer's disease, eventually losing the ability to speak. | ||||||
other | She died in Madrid on 28 February 2004. | ||||||
other | Carmen Laforet was forgotten by the world of literature for a long time. | ||||||
other | The publication in 2003 of "Puedo contar contigo," a selection of her correspondence with Ramón J. Sender edited by Israel Rolón Barada, and the reissue of her 1955 novel, "La mujer nueva", with a prologue by the same editor led to renewed interest in her work, bolstered by a new translation of "Nada" by Edith Grossman... | ||||||
other | In February 2007, as a commemoration of the third anniversary of her death, the Editorial Menoscuarto published for the first time a compilation of all her short stories, including five previously unpublished stories. | ||||||
other | In 2009 Cristina Cerezales published a second book about her mother, "Música Blanca" (Destino). | ||||||
other | In 2010 a school with her name was built in the neighborhood of Valderribas, in the district of Vicálvaro (Madrid). | ||||||
other | In 2011 she was awarded, posthumously, with the Can de Plata de Gran Canaria, in the category of Arts, given by the Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria. | ||||||
other | There are some streets with her name in Estepona (Málaga), in the neighborhood of Aguas Vivas (Guadalajara), in Majadahonda, in Torrejon de Ardoz and in the neighborhood of Soto del Henares (Madrid). | ||||||
other | Some streets in the towns of Las Palmas and San Bartolomé de Tirajana on the island of Gran Canaria were also named Carmen Laforet. | ||||||
other | In 2004 a series of biographies dedicated to Carmen Laforet were published and directed by the writer Nuria Amat. | ||||||
other | In 2014 The Instituto Cervantes in New York (United States) paid tribute to the author in one of its cultural activities to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the publication of her book "Nada." | ||||||
other | A square in Barcelona was named after her: Plaça de Carmen Laforet. | ||||||
other | The square has a plaque where it can be read in Catalan: "Carmen Laforet (Barcelona 1921-Madrid 2004)... Escriptora ... Va néixer en aquesta casa, font d'inspiració de la seva primera novel·la Nada" which means: "Carmen Laforet (Barcelona 1921-Madrid 2004).. | ||||||
other | Writer ... Was born in this house, the source of inspiration for her first novel Nada." | ||||||
other | In 1947, a version of the novel "Nada" was brought to the big screen. | ||||||
other | The full-length film was directed by Edgar Nevile. | ||||||
other | Actors such as Conchita Montes, Rafael Bardem, María Denis and Fosco Giachetti, among others, took part on it. | ||||||
other | Because of the censorship of those years, thirty minutes of the film were cut and many of the scenes shot in Barcelona were obliterated. | ||||||
other | Later, in 1956, Argentina brought to the big screen what would be an adaptation of the novel Nada, a black and white drama directed by Leopoldo Torre Nilsson. | ||||||
other | The literary production of the writer is wide. | ||||||
other | After the death of her mother, her father married a woman with whom Carmen did not have a good relationship. | ||||||
other | This situation was reflected in three of her works. | ||||||
other | These works, which have orphans as main characters are "Nada (1945)," "La isla y sus demonios (1952)" and "La insolación (1963)." | ||||||
other | The Spanish writer tried to combine her feelings in each of her works. | ||||||
other | Several authors insist on her feminist vision, although her mystical vision of the world, should be pointed out, especially in her work "La mujer nueva," whose main point is the faith of the main character. | ||||||
other | The main character of this work is Paulina, a woman who goes from criticizing the Church to practicing the Catholic religion, a change she chooses on her own. | ||||||
other | Paulina stopped having a sinful life, as she had a son born out of wedlock and she also had a relationship with another man. | ||||||
other | Thus, in this work the freedom of the women to choose another way of life is joined with mysticism. | ||||||
other | This could be due to the religious belief of the author, because in the correspondence that remained for a long time with writer Ramon J. Sender, she claims to believe in God. | ||||||
other | Intrigue and mystery are also present in many of her works. | ||||||
other | This author could be considered the precursor of the detective novel in Spain because, although currently this is a rising genre and it was started some time ago, she had done it thirty years earlier than other authors. | ||||||
other | In Laforet's works, several aspects of the society in which she lived can also be glimpsed, specially in the beginning, when the political system was the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. | ||||||
other | This society suffered serious problems and we could say that a crisis was lived. | ||||||
other | And all this is described by the author in some of her works, with foreign characters visiting Spain. | ||||||
other | For example, with Martin, a character of her work "Al volver de la esquina" (published posthumously by the publisher Destino in 2004, the same year as her death). | ||||||
other | In turn, the complexity of the narrative structure, which testifies the evolution of the style of the author, is remarkable. | ||||||
other | It must be pointed out that it is part of a trilogy titled "Tres pasos fuera del tiempo" together with "La insolación" and "Jaque mate." | ||||||
other | This is an unfinished trilogy because, despite having talked about it in her correspondence with Ramón J. Sender, "Jaque mate" has been never published (in fact, nobody knows whether or not it was actually written). | ||||||
other | Other works by the author are: | ||||||
other | Since Laforet's death on 28 February 2004, renewed critical attention has focused on her lesser known works (essentially everything published after "Nada"), yet undoubtedly the public will always think of "Nada" when Laforet's name is mentioned, as evidenced by the Spanish phrase, "Después de "Nada," nada," or "After "... | ||||||
