DIARY OF AN EMIGRANT. Delibes, Miguel

Lorenzo, whom we already met thanks to Diary of a Hunter, resumes his story after marrying Anita. Now, some of her uncles, residents in Santiago de Chile, encourage them to try their fortune in America, offering them a home and work.

Through Lorenzo's comic annotations, Miguel Delibes describes to us - with casual simplicity and a good dose of malice - the daily incidents of the couple, full of dreams and illusions, alternating the story of the adventures in Chile with a fine and sagacious psychological analysis of their feelings as newlyweds, their disagreements and anger, jealousy and reconciliations as well as their gradual disillusionment at the impossibility of making a fortune.
