A choral narrative in which the anonymous members of an olive-growing clan from the Jándula cross paths with Alberti, Lorca, and Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano, and Kent; Hemingway, Orwell, and Bernanos; Picasso and Maruja Mallo; Azaña and Foxá. A novel where the epic and the everyday intertwine to weave an overflowing, poetic, and grotesque tapestry, beautiful and delirious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siruela","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57025228472664,"sku":"LIB-LA-SI-727","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/979138768823a.jpg?v=1775173919","url":"https:\/\/us.plasticbooks.com\/en\/products\/la-peninsula-de-las-casas-vacias","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
