«La colmena» is the novel by Camilo José Cela, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
The work portrays everyday life in Madrid during the Spanish postwar period through a mosaic of characters who cross paths in cafés, streets, and homes. With an innovative style and critical gaze, Cela composes a fresco of the moral and material misery of the era, and of the difficult hope of living in a gray and suffocating society.
The work was originally published in 1951. This edition, the 21st of the Letras Hispánicas collection, includes an edition by Jorge Urrutia. Camilo José Cela received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
A work of 20th-century Spanish narrative, suitable for readers who want to learn about life in postwar Madrid through literary fiction.
Camilo José Cela y Trulock, 1st Marquess of Iria Flavia was a Spanish novelist, poet, story writer and essayist associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
