Curious about him, Stein's schoolmates will try to unravel the secrets concealed by this enigmatic character a quest that will lead them to unveil unanswered questions of their own past and catch a fleeting glimpse of the adult world ahead of them.


A literary gem, regarded by the critics as one of the best short novels of Spanish twentieth-century fiction, The Stein Report was awarded the Prix Écureuil de Littérature Étrangère on its publication in France.


A great Bildungsroman. ABC

Each character in the novel pays for the ill-defined guilt of their forebears, hero or traitor, victim or aggressor. Standing in sharp contrast to this violence is the gentle prose style, as clear as the voice of a well brought up teenager. Le Monde

Llop summons the ghosts of the past in a fascinating novel, at the peak of his art . . . The author's ability to place the reader in a vague anguished atmosphere is unrivaled. Le Figaro Littéraire
