ABOUT THE BOOK
Winner of the Málaga Novel Prize
At the dawn of the nineteenth century, as the old feudal order begins to crumble, the recently widowed Redo Hauptshammer settles in a small Prussian town to farm his own land. While digging his wife's grave, he unearths the body of a soldier, perfectly frozen. The next day he finds two more, from an even earlier war.
As the bodies multiply, so do the layers of the story. Told in chapters that grow longer as they go, Centroeuropa is an archaeological novel about a mysterious life and a great love, and about Europe's long history of conquest, dispossession and forgetting.
Translated from the Spanish by Rahul Bery.
