The Towpath

Jesús Moncada

A story of legendary strength about a community fated to disappear below rising waters.

The Towpath is a novel that gives voice to dozens of townspeople in Mequinesa, from World War I to the late seventies, when the town was inundated by a reservoir. With its atmosphere that blurs the line between historical and mythical, Moncada’s Mequinensa has been compared to the Macondo of One Hundred Years of Solitude. It is one of Catalan literature’s most internationally successful books.
