Mazurka for Two Dead Men

Mazurka for Two Dead Men

Camilo José Cela
3.7/5 ( ratings)
In 1936, at the beginning of the war, 'Lionheart' Gamuzo is a abducted and killed. In 1939, when the war ends, his brother, Tanis Gamuzo avenges his death. For both these events, the blind accordion player Gaudencio plays the same mazurka. Set in a backward rural community in Galicia, Cela's creation is in many ways like a contrapuntal musical composition built with varying themes and moods. In alternately melancholy, humorous, lyrical or coarse tones, he portrays a reign of fools.
