Translation Rights TQE / Authors / Egido, Luciano G.

Luciano G. Egido was born in Salamanca in 1928. After a lifetime’s dedication to the University, literary journalism and the cinema, he published his first novel El cuarzo rojo de Salamanca (The Red Quartz of Salamanca) at the age of 63. With this first novel he won the Miguel Delibes Prize in 1993. With his second, El corazón inmóvil (The Immobile Heart), he obtained the Critics’ Award in 1995. The reader will agree that Egido’s beginnings as a novelist are enviable, and that it would be ridiculous to deny that he is one of the contemporary writers clearly destined for immanent and definitive preeminence.
