About the Book

Cuando Miquel Mascarell se encarga de la búsqueda de un joven anarquista descubre que el éxito en su investigación podría implicar su propia muerte. 1948. Un año después de abandonar el Valle de los Caídos tras su indulto, Miquel Mascarell, el último policía de la Barcelona republicana, ha rehecho su vida al lado de Patro, la joven a quien ya ha salvado dos veces. La visita de un hombre temible y su extraño encargo, buscar la tumba de su sobrino muerto el 18 de julio de 1936, volverá a poner al viejo inspector en el disparadero, enfrentado a sus fantasmas, su supervivencia y moviéndose por una ciudad extraña que vive la posguerra en busca de un nuevo futuro. En esos mismos días, en Madrid, un consejo de guerra juzga al grupo de los ochenta, los maquis que siguen la lucha contra la dictadura.¿Qué secreto esconde el cadáver de aquel joven cuya tumba busca Mascarell doce años después y sin testigos vivos de aquel incidente? Ambientada con exactitud y precisión en la España de su tiempo, Cinco días de octubre es una novela que nos hace retroceder al pasado para comprender, quizá, nuestro presente y la forma en que sobrevivimos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When Miquel Mascarell takes on the search for a young anarchist, he discovers that the success of his investigation could entail his own death. 1948. One year after being pardoned from the Valley of the Fallen, Miquel Mascarell, the last policeman from Republican Barcelona, has rebuilt his life alongside Patro, the young woman he has already saved twice. A visit from a frightening man and his strange mission--to search for the tomb of his nephew who died on July 18, 1936--once again drives the former inspector to distraction, facing his ghosts, his survival, and a strange city that is living the post-war in search of a new future. At the same time, in Madrid, a court-martial judges the resistance movement fighting against the dictatorship. What secret is being hidden by the body of that young man whose tomb Mascarell is searching for, twelve years after the fact and without living witnesses of the incident? Set with precision in the Spain of the era, Five Days of October is a novel that makes us return to the past to--hopefully--understand our present and the way we survive.
About the Author: Jordi Sierra i Fabra (Barcelona, 1947) es uno de los autores más leídos y populares del panorama literario español y, con más de doce millones de libros vendidos y cuarenta premios literarios a ambos lados del Atlántico, uno de los más sorprendentes por la versatilidad de su obra, que aborda todos los géneros. Viajero impenitente, circunstancia que nutre buena parte de su extensa producción, y comprometido con la realidad, ha creado la Fundación Jordi Sierra i Fabra en España y la Fundación Taller de Letras Jordi Sierra i Fabra en Colombia, para impulsar la lectura y ayudar a jóvenes escritores en sus primeros pasos (anualmente otorga el premio literario que lleva su nombre a un autor menor de dieciocho años). Por esta tarea social sus fundaciones merecieron el Premio IBBY-Asahi de Promoción de la Lectura en 2010, máximo galardón internacional en la materia y en el 2015 la Fundación Jordi Sierra i Fabra fue condecorada con la Medalla de Honor de la Ciudad de Barcelona en reconocimiento a su labor. Premio Nacional de Literatura Juvenil en 2007 y dos veces candidato al Premio Andersen, Sierra i Fabra también recibió en 2012 el Premio Cervantes Chico como reconocimiento a sus cuarenta y cinco años de vida profesional y, en 2013, el Premio Iberoamericano de Literatura por el aportación de su obra y su figura en la narrativa latino americana. En 2017 mereció también la Medalla de Oro de ellas Artes por la misma razón.
