«La busca» is the realist novel by Pío Baroja, published by Caro Raggio Editor in paperback (302 pages, in Spanish).
Manuel Alcázar arrives in Madrid from the countryside and encounters the city's harshest side: poorly paid jobs, squalid boarding houses, and the company of rogues and thugs. In this atmosphere of poverty and crime, Baroja contrasts the temptation of the easy life with the protagonist's determination to build a dignified future.
First installment of the trilogy «La lucha por la vida». The novel was originally published in 1904; this edition includes a prologue by Ricardo Senabre.
For readers of Spanish literary classics and social realism, set in early 20th-century Madrid.
