Descripción:
Torrente’s long and varied literary career reached its zenith ta date when, in January of 1986, he received the ‘Premio de Literatura en Lengua Castellana Miguel de Cervantes,’ awarded not for a single work but the lifetime achievement of a writer who, ln the words of the prize announcement, ‘de forma sobresaliente, ha contribuido a enriquecer el legado cultural hispánico.’ The Cervantes Prize capped a half century of endeavor, nearly four decades of it in relative obscurity. After a promising start when Torrente’s modem auto sacramental, El casamiento engañoso won the Premio Nacional de literatura ln 1939, his several plays and novel s of the 1940s and 1950s were ignored bath by the pro-Franco literary establishment and more liberal writers and critics.
The only encouragement came in the form of a grant from the Fundación March in 1959 for completion of the trilogy, Los gozos y las sombras. Torrente moved more into professional criticism as an economie necessity, with such success that in 1961 he won the Premio de la Crítica Teatral, but his participation in an intellectual manifesta at that time resulted in his loss of positions as critic with government-controlled newspapers and Radio Nacional, as weil as his chair of history at the Escuela Naval, and prohibition of criticai notices of his trilogy which was completed in 1962. When Off-side (1969) likewise passed unnoticed by Spanish readers and critics, Torrente renounced ail future attempts either to follow literary fashion or ta please the public: half a dozen plays and nine novels ta date had brought very little in the way of profit or recognition.
