«Los avispones» is the novel by Peter Handke, published by Versal in hardcover (238 pages, in Spanish).
A man tries to reconstruct a book he read in the past, or that perhaps he was only told about. With scattered fragments, isolated words and half-remembered images, he composes a narrative that gradually merges with his own experience and the terrors of his childhood. The narration evokes the life of a village family and its routines, in an experimental novel about memory and the boundary between reality and fiction.
Originally published in 1966 as Die Hornissen, it is Peter Handke's first novel. This Spanish edition of 1984, translated by Francisco Zanutigh Núñez, belongs to the Coronel collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and literary narrative interested in Peter Handke's early works.

He was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience." Handke is considered to be one of the most influential and original German-language writers in the second half of the 20th century.
