1987, Miguel Delibes, Madera de héroe, Barcelona: Ediciones Destino:Gervasio no respondió. Había un reto oculto en la carta de papá Telmo. Únicamente un valeroso gesto de su parte podría hacerle cambiar de opinión. Pero ¿dónde habría un gesto que papá Telmo no fuese a considerar una celada? Se apartó de la batayola y se tumbó en el linóleo, los dedos entrelazados bajo la nuca. Estaba enojado. Hasta la flébil situación de Eduardo desmerecía después de leer la nota de su padre.- Gervasio did not respond. There was a hidden challenge in Papa Telmo's letter. Only a brave gesture on his part could change her mind. But where would there be a gesture that Papa Telmo wouldn't consider a trick? He stepped away from the railing and lay down on the linoleum, his fingers clasped under the back of his head. He was angry. Even Eduardo's weak situation was unworthy after reading his father's note.
