«La colmena» is the novel by Spanish writer Camilo José Cela, published by Distribooks Inc in paperback (300 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows numerous characters in Madrid in 1943, in the midst of the postwar period, whose lives cross paths in cafés, boarding houses and city streets. With a fragmented, choral structure, Cela composes a portrait of an impoverished middle class, with its miseries, routines and frustrated hopes.
The work is the first installment of the «Caminos inciertos» series and was originally published in 1951.
Work for readers of classics of twentieth-century Spanish literature, particularly postwar social realism.
