Translated from the Spanish by Agnes Moncy. 312 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Susan Nees. keywords: Literature Translated Spain . FROM THE PUBLISHER - In THE WARS OF OUR ANCESTORS two men talk in Private for seven nights. One is Pacifico PErez, a Spanish peasant imprisoned for homicide; the other is an examining psychiatrist. Gradually a story unfolds as Pacifico, responding to the doctor's delicate but persistent probing, recount episodes from his past and the events that have brought him to prison. From this encounter between two people of markedly dissimilar backgrounds, Miguel Delibes constructs a novel of pointed social criticism an understated but nonetheless scathing critique of contemporary values. Experimental in form yet thoroughly accessible, the book is cast as a series of extended dialogues in which the world outside the doctor's office, especially Pacifico's town, is evoked entirely through the voices of the two characters. In telling the doctor his various tales - the brutal war stories he heard from his forebears while still a child, his erotic adventures with a young woman from his village, his role in a prison escape attempt - Pacifico describes a rural social realm of almost routine violence, a world in which aggression, competition, and individual triumph are prized above other human attributes. Against this backdrop, the aptly named Pacifico emerges as a deviant': essentially nonviolent (despite the act of violence that has led to his imprisonment), modest, generous, cooperative in spirit. By the novel's end, Pacifico has won the full sympathy of the doctor - and the reader as well. In fact, the normally dispassionate psychiatrist is prepared to compromise his own ethics by urging the prisoner to lie at his upcoming trial so that he might win a pardon. Pacifico stands, ultimately, for hope and human possibility in a threatened and uncertain world. Several of Delibes's novels have been translated into English: THE PATH (1961), SMOKE ON THE GROUND (1972), THE HEDGE (1983), and FIVE HOURS WITH MARIO (1989). THE WARS OF OUR ANCESTORS, originally published in Spain in 1974, is representative of the author's use of stark realism and attachment to rural subjects in his novels. inventory #24311.
