Set in the community of Tortilla Flat, in Monterey, California, after World War I, the novel follows Danny and his friends, a group of paisanos living on the margins of society. Amid drinking bouts, brawls and mischief, the inheritance of two houses turns their camaraderie into the center of a story full of humor and lyricism, where friendship, freedom and chivalrous generosity prevail over the hardships of poverty.
Originally published in 1935, this Spanish edition includes a translation and prologue by José Luis Piquero. It is part of the Navona Reencuentros collection.
