A 25-year-old travel book written by Nobel laureate Camilo Jose Cela is
getting a new run. The University of Wisconsin Press plans to reprint the
book by Cela, the Spanish writer whose violent images sprang from the civil
war. In the 25 years since the book "Journey to Alcarria" was originally
published, it has sold 2,000 copies. The final copies of the original
printing were sold Thursday, the same day Cela won the Nobel Prize for
literature. Press director Allen Fitchen said Monday plans have been made to
reprint 2,000 to 5,000 copies of "Journey." "The world was caught by surprise
that the Nobel Prize went to Cela," Fichen said. "We were caught by surprise
that we had been a publisher of a Nobel Prize winner. We're delighted."
