El Templo (Spanish, Paperback)

Penned in 1929, this autobiographical novel narrates the experiences of a young poet from Oxford vacationing in Germany. Addressing themes such as sexual morality, naturism, and fascism, the novel focuses on the protagonist's spontaneous reaction to the social and cultural atmosphere of the Weimar Republic, a paradise that would promptly disappear under Nazi rule. With increasing tension, lazy afternoons filled with hiking and swimming and nights spent drinking and dancing at nightclubs slowly give way to the growing Nazi threat being felt among the youth the protagonist befriends. "Escrita en 1929, esta novela autobiografica narra las vivencias de un joven poeta de Oxford durante unas vacaciones en Alemania. Tratando temas tales como la moralidad sexual, el naturismo y el facismo, la novela se enfoca sobre la reaccion espontanea del narrador ante el universo social y cultural de la Republica de Weimar, un paraiso que pronto desapareceria bajo el yugo del nazismo. Con una tension creciente, tardes perezosas de excursiones y natacion y noches llenas de copas y bailes lentamente le ceden el paso a la creciente amenaza nazi que comienza a dejarse sentir entre los jovenes con los cuales el protagonista se hace amigos."
