The Carpenter's Pencil by Manuel Rivas

A bestseller in Spain, The Carpenter's Pencil has been published in nine countries. Set in the dark days of the Spanish Civil War, The Carpenter's Pencil charts the linked destinies of a remarkable cast of unique characters. All are bound by the events of the Civil War-the artists and the peasants alike-and all are brought to life, in Rivas's skillful hand, with the power of the carpenter's pencil, a pencil that draws both the measured line and the artist's dazzling vision. Translated from the Galician by Jonathan Dunne.

Manuel Rivas writes in Galician, a north-western Spanish language. He is a notable figure in Spanish writing, known for his journalism as well as his prize-winning short tales and novels, including the internationally acclaimed The Carpenter's Pencil. He is a founding member of Greenpeace Spain. Twenty languages have been used to translate his works.
