Stephen Gordon challenges invisibility in an oppressive society. El pozo de la soledad is an essential historical novel that speaks of identity, courage, and resistance. This illustrated edition combines Hall's literary strength with Carla Berrocal's contemporary art to renew the perspective on a key work of the 20th century.

Published in 1928, El pozo de la soledad was banned in the United Kingdom after a high-profile trial in which its author, Radclyffe Hall, was accused of obscenity and promoting lesbianism. However, far from being silenced, the novel became a symbol of resistance, dignity, and courage. Through the story of Stephen Gordon, a woman who fights to defend her identity in a world that rejects her, Hall broke taboos and challenged the rigid moral norms and society of the time, offering an honest reflection of the suffering and hope of the homosexual community in the early decades of the 20th century.

El pozo de la soledad remains highly relevant not only as a testimony of its time but also for having paved the way for future generations of women writers and readers. Stephen's story, a true lesbian icon, continues to be read, shared, and celebrated nearly a hundred years after its publication. This edition restores this queer literature classic to its rightful place. Gloria Fortún’s annotated translation offers an enriching reading experience, while Carla Berrocal’s original illustrations immerse us in the novel’s universe.
