«Kanikosen: El pesquero» is the proletarian novel by Takiji Kobayashi, published by Ático de los Libros in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The story begins aboard the fishing boat Hakko Maru, which works the cold waters of Kamchatka. Its crew brings together ruined sailors, indebted students, and destitute peasants who endure exhausting shifts and punishments from the boss, until unrest turns into rebellion.
Originally published in 1929, the novel has sold more than 1.6 million copies in Japan. The translation from Japanese is by Shizuko Ono and Jordi Juste.
The book has again become a success among young Japanese people for its portrayal of job insecurity and the working class.
