Nada es la primera novela de la escritora barcelonesa Carmen Laforet y una de las obras literarias más importantes de la España del siglo XX. Se trata de una obra existencialista que representa el estancamiento y la pobreza que se vivieron en la posguerra española, durante los primeros años del franquismo. Dotada de un estilo literario que supuso una renovación en la prosa de la época, Nada refleja también la lenta desaparición de la pequeña burguesía tras la Guerra Civil.

La protagonista de la novela es una joven huérfana de padres, llamada Andrea, que recién terminada la Guerra Civil Española se traslada a la ciudad de Barcelona para estudiar y empezar una nueva vida. Cuando Andrea llega a casa de su abuela, de donde solo tiene recuerdos de su infancia, sus ilusiones se ven rotas. (Wikipedia)


"Loosely based on the author's own life, Nada is the story of an orphaned young woman who leaves her small town to attend university in war-ravaged Barcelona." "Residing amid genteel poverty in a mysterious house on Calle de Aribau, young Andrea falls in with a wealthy band of schoolmates who provide a rich counterpoint to the squalor of her home life. As experience overtakes innocence, Andrea gradually learns the disquieting truth about the people she shares her life with: her overbearing and superstitious aunt Angustias; her nihilistic yet artistically gifted uncle Roman and his violent brother Juan; and Juan's disturbingly beautiful wife, Gloria, who secretly supports the clan with her gambling. From existential crisis to a growing maturity and resolve, Andrea's passionate inner journey leaves her wiser, stronger, and filled with hope for the future."--BOOK JACKET
