Aún es de día / It’s Still Daylight
Novel , 1949
Destino
In It’s Still Daylight, the second novel by Miguel Delibes, Sebastian, a poor, rather dumb, man, is the butt of the jokes and disdain of his neighbours and is even deceived by the girl he loves and dreams of marrying. He tries to fight all that with an intense inner life, but sordid reality wins out and is more powerful than his spirituality.
The novel meticulously portrays the life of a provincial city in the 1940s, in the immediate aftermath the Spanish civil war.
