Carmen Laforet (1921–2004) was a Spanish novelist whose work captured the unease and hardship of life in postwar Spain. Her first novel, Nada (1944), won the inaugural Premio Nadal and became a landmark of modern Spanish literature. She went on to publish novels including La isla y los demonios and La mujer nueva, which received Spain’s National Literature Prize in 1956. Laforet’s writing often explores isolation, personal freedom, and the constraints placed on women.
