Mala hierba is the second novel in the trilogy "La lucha por la vida" by Pío Baroja. In this work, Manuel Alcázar is divided between his inclination towards abulia, influenced by the characters that make up the "mala hierba", and his desire to channel his life through work, encouraged by the student Roberto Hasting and Salvadora. The novel masterfully portrays the miseries of the society of the time and the internal struggle of the protagonist.
