It is considered one most important of Silva's works and of Venezuelan literature in general. The book is set within the historical events of Venezuela during the 1950s and 1960s, and exposes the social and political conditions of Venezuela of that period of time. According to Silva's wife, the novel was written during a four month long retreat at the Villa Guillichini, a medieval castle he owned in Arezzo, Italy.[1]
The novel was made into a film by Maurice Wallerstein in 1973 and produced as a miniseries in Colombia in 1991. In 2009 the miniseries was adapted to the telenovela format under the title The Victorinos[2] by the American channel Telemundo. At the time of its release on June 23, the telenovela captured the largest audience in the history of that channel.[3].

The title poem honors the song Autumn Spring by the Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío.
Youth, divine treasure,
And you'll never return!
When I mourn, do not cry ...
and sometimes I cry without wanting ...References
