Summary

"El crimen del sátiro", de Emilio Carrère, es una dura novela social sobre la miseria y la desigualdad en el Madrid de principios del siglo XX. Una obra breve comprometida y castiza, que nos sumerge en los bajos fondos del Madrid más sórdido y sexual con la mirada profundamente empática del autor, retratando los distintos tipos que poblaban la noche de la gran ciudad, y denunciando la violencia contra la mujer. En esta historia encontramos crímenes, prostitutas, mujeres humildes, chulos, policías, aristócratas depravados y otros personajes, víctimas y verdugos, pero también el testimonio de muchas vidas y de una ciudad más real que literaria, en un mundo donde la esperanza en los finales felices se ha desvanecido.

Publicado por primera vez en 1925, en la colección "La novela de hoy" (Editorial Atlántida), con ilustraciones de Enrique Ochoa, además de un importante testimonio social, sin concesiones, "el crimen del sátiro" retrata con crudeza un crimen abyecto contra una niña humilde, aporta también la voz del sátiro que da nombre al libro, y aborda con valentía temas que aún hoy son tabú en nuestra literatura. Imprescindible.

"El crimen del sátiro", by Emilio Carrère, is a powerful social novel depicting poverty and inequality in early 20th-century Madrid. This short yet impactful work dives into the city's underworld, portraying its sordid and sexual corners with empathy. It features crimes, prostitutes, humble women, pimps, police, and depraved aristocrats, exposing violence against women and offering a gritty portrayal of the city's reality. Published in 1925 with illustrations by Enrique Ochoa, it stands as a raw social testimony and addresses taboo subjects, including a heinous crime against a young girl. An indispensable book
