«Oídos en la jungla» is the war novel by Pierre Boulle, published by Ediciones G.P. in paperback (246 pages, in Spanish).
During the Vietnam War, the US army installs small electronic devices in the jungle to locate the enemy. When a Vietnamese man finds one, Mrs. Ngha and young Thu decide to turn it against its creators, in a duel of wit and technology that becomes a satire of the absurdity of war.
Translation by Domingo Pruna. Originally published in French as «Les Oreilles de jungle» in 1972. The 1976 Spanish edition belongs to the Reno collection (no. 539).
