Horses into the Night

Originally published in 1975, Cavalls cap a la fosca was hailed by public and critics alike as perhaps the most incisive Catalan novel since the Spanish Civil War.

About the author

Baltasar Porcel was born in Andratx, Spain, in 1937, heir to the rich traditions of the Majorcan people. His first novel, Black Sun, was published in 1961 to critical acclaim, receiving the "City of Palma" prize. Porcel's prodigious body of work includes over twenty books and many short stories and essays.
Translator John L. Getman has lived for years in Catalonia, studying its history and literature, and has worked in the graduate translation program at the University of Arkansas. His translations of Catalan poetry have appeared in several journals. He lives with his wife, Pilar, and their children in Fayetteville, Arkansas, during the school year and in Catalonia during the summer.

Summary

Although gothic, almost ghoulish, this 1976 Spanish Literary Critics awards winner is also wildly imaginative and lyrically written, with a translation to match. -- Publishers Weekly -- 1995 Publishers Weekly Best Books of the Year -- 1995-96 Critics' Choice List
