The Blind Sunflowers by Alberto Méndez is a powerful collection of four interlinked stories set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War (1939–1942). Each narrative offers a distinct perspective—an army captain, a young poet, a repentant prisoner, and a corrupt priest—revealing the psychological and moral collapse of a society under Franco’s dictatorship. Through sparse yet evocative prose, Méndez explores themes of guilt, silence, resistance, and the haunting presence of the dead. The stories are united by a shared atmosphere of fear and loss, portraying a world where truth is buried and survival demands compromise. The Persian translation by Arman Amin captures the novel’s emotional depth and historical resonance, making it a poignant addition to contemporary world literature in translation.
