The Eternal Sound of Music. A novel by Carmen Laforet. Translated by Sigurður Sigurmundsson from Hvítárholt.
In the preface to the book, Sigurður says that this book replaced everything else he had read in Spanish before. He had learned to read the language through self-study, but never imagined that he would attempt to translate a work from such an unrelated language. "But after reading it, the story took up such a vast space in his mind, an inner pressure so strong that he was compelled to begin. It was as if he were setting off into a blind fog, but little by little things began to break through," the preface says. The author, Carmen Laforet, was born in Barcelona in 1921. The Eternal Symphony was published in 1944, and in the same year she received the Spanish Academy's literary prize
