The Family of Pascual Duarte | The Back Room | La colmena / The Disinherited | Time of Silence | Journey to the Alcarria Travels Through the Spanish Countryside. Reprint
In this extraordinary novel of life in Madrid after the Spanish Civil War, Camilo Jose Cela conveys with startling immediacy not only the brutality but also the vitality of life in the city. His styleâeconomical but vividâcarries the reader through a series of vignettes, following Celaâs many characters through the streets and tenements and brothels and, above all, the cafés of the great beehiveâla colmenaâof Madrid. Both a social document of its time and place and a moving tale of human sufferingâand human triumph--under a totalitarian regime, The Hive is âa brilliant and original workâ (Gerald Brenan, The New York Times Book Review).
About: -- The Hive presents a panoramic view of the degradation and sufferings of the lower-middle class in post-civil war Spain.
About: All who come in contact with a Madrid cafe in 1943 experience the hunger, frustration and fears of the war years
