Book Presentation: From the Countryside to the City

Isabel Martín Morillo presents her book *Desde el campo a la ciudad: una revolución silenciosa*, a personal account of a rural Extremaduran family's move to Madrid in the 1970s. The narrative follows Lola, whose departure from her village changes the family's path, and Yisa, the protagonist, as she navigates life during Spain's democratic transition. The story weaves together politics, clandestine books, love, psychology, mysticism, writing, and art, set against the backdrop of the El Pilar neighborhood, where churches play a decisive role.

Attendees can expect an intimate literary event at the Biblioteca Pública Municipal José Saramago, where the author—also an artist and creator of the project "Autores y escritores de El Barrio de El Pilar"—shares her autobiographical testimony. The book blends personal memory with recent Spanish history, offering a unique perspective on a transformative era. This free event is a compelling opportunity for those interested in Spanish history, literature, and personal narratives of migration and change.
