The Family of Pascual Duarte: A Novel

โ€The Family of Pascual Duarteโ€ is the story of Pascual Duarte–a Spanish peasant born into a brutal world of poverty, hatred, and depravity–as told from his prison cell, where he awaits execution for the murders he`s committed throughout his lifetime. Despite his savage and cruel impulses, Pascual retains a childlike sense of the world and a groping desire to understand the blows of fate that led him down his bloody path.Originally published in the same year as Camus`s โ€The Strangerโ€–to which it has been compared–โ€The Family of Pascual Duarteโ€ is closer in tone to the works of Curzio Malaparte and Louis-Ferdinand C?line.
