Luis grows up in these two contrasting worlds and slowly transforms into a man capable of building his own future.   Eduardo Blanco Amor is an author. Although he started his literary career in his late 40s, he wrote two of the most important Spanish novels of the 20th century: La catedral y el niño and La parranda .
