Y Dios en la última playa (lit. 'And God on the Last Shore') is a 1981 novel by the Spanish writer Cristóbal Zaragoza.[1]
Plot
[edit]The story takes place in the Basque Country and revolves around the armed separatist group ETA, although this is never explicitly mentioned in the novel itself. The main character is a member of a separatist command who refuses to comply when he is ordered to execute a soldier. This makes his own group sentence him to death.[2]
Reception
[edit]José F. Beaumont of El País wrote that the book has universal value and application, because Zaragoza does not take a side in a political conflict, but condemns violence as such.[2]
The book received the Premio Planeta de Novela. It was a commercial success and eventually printed in 600,000 copies.[3]
