About the Book

Madrid 1939-1945. El pulso de un tiempo terrible parece llegar a su fin, pero la guerra no ha terminado para todos.

La novela más emocionante de Ignacio Martínez de Pisón

«Extraordinaria [...] Una obra galdosiana que se sitúa a medio camino entre Almudena Grandes y Pérez-Reverte [...] Castillos de fuego está a años luz de todas las demás novelas que han llegado a las librerías en 2023.» Alberto Olmos, El Confidencial

«Un relato rico, sólido y vibrante [...] Una novela formidable.» Daniel Gascón, Letras Libres

«Una novela magistral sobre la desdichada Madrid del período 1939-1945.» Juan Marqués, La Lectura, El Mundo

«Espectacular [...] Uno de los mejores libros del año [...]» Txani Rodríguez, EITB Radio

«Novela de aliento galdosiano, que habría admirado Baroja y fascinado a Delibes, se inscribe en un realismo crítico de cuidada prosa, detallada ambientación, conseguidos personajes e incisiva denuncia de sus injustas penalidades.» Jesús Ferrer, La Razón

«La gran novela de la posguerra española. Soberbia y grandiosa.» Javier García Recio, La Opinión de Málaga

«Pisón logra su propósito y entrega una de sus mejores novelas.» Domingo Ródenas de Moya, Babelia, El País

Madrid, 1939-1945. Muchos luchan por salir adelante en una ciudad marcada por el hambre, la penuria y el estraperlo. Como Eloy, un joven tullido que trata de salvar de la pena de muerte a su hermano encarcelado; Alicia, taquillera en un cine que pierde su empleo por seguir su corazón; Basilio, profesor de universidad que afronta un proceso de depuración; el falangista Matías, que trafica con objetos requisados, o Valentín, capaz de cualquier vileza con tal de purgar su anterior militancia. Costureras, estudiantes, policías: vidas de personas comunes en tiempos extraordinarios.

Castillos de fuego es una novela que encierra más verdad que muchos libros de Historia y que transmite el pulso de un tiempo en el que el miedo casi arrasa con la esperanza que, de forma natural, se abre camino entre la devastación. Una época de reconstrucción en la que la guerra ha acabado solo para algunos, pero en la que nadie está a salvo, ni los que se alzaron a los pies del dictador ni los que lucharon por derrocarlo.

Ignacio Martínez de Pisón regresa con una ambiciosa novela coral en la que mezcla una soberbia y documentada ambientación histórica con el fascinante devenir de un puñado de personajes inolvidable, y que supone la culminación de una gran trayectoria literaria coronada por libros tan celebrados por crítica y público como La buena reputación, El día de mañana y Dientes de leche.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Madrid 1939-1945. The pulse of a terrible time seems to be coming to an end, but the war is not over for everyone.

Ignacio Martínez de Pisón's most exciting novel

Madrid, 1939-1945. Many struggle to get by in a city marked by hunger, hardship and smugglers. Like Eloy, a crippled young man who tries to save his imprisoned brother from the death penalty; Alice, a box office attendant who loses her job to follow her heart; Basilio, a university professor who is facing a process of purification; the Falangist Matías, who traffics in requisitioned objects, or Valentín, capable of any vileness in order to purge his former militancy. Seamstresses, Students, Policemen: Lives of Ordinary People in Extraordinary Times.

Castillos de fuego is a novel that holds more truth than many history books and that conveys the pulse of a time in which fear almost wiped out the hope that, naturally, makes its way through the devastation. A time of reconstruction in which the war has ended only for some but in which no one is safe, neither those who rose at the feet of the dictator nor those who fought to overthrow him.

Ignacio Martínez de Pisón returns with an ambitious choral novel in which he mixes a superb and documented historical setting with the fascinating evolution of an unforgettable handful of characters, and which is the culmination of a great literary career crowned by books as celebrated by critics and the public as La buena reputación, El día de mañana and Dientes de leche.
