«Pelo de zanahoria» is the autobiographical novel by Jules Renard, published by Ediciones Akal in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
The book portrays the childhood of a boy nicknamed Pelo de Zanahoria, who grows up without his mother's affection, ignored by his father and ridiculed by his siblings. It reflects Jules Renard's own harsh childhood. Through stories, letters and notes, the work shows with irony how the boy learns to defend himself from the world with lies and wit.
Work originally published in French as «Poil de carotte» (1894). This Akal edition is number 4 in the Akal Literaturas collection.
