«El jardín de los frailes» is a bildungsroman by Manuel Azaña, published by Alianza in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows a young boarder at a religious school in El Escorial, a setting Manuel Azaña knew first-hand. Through the boy's impressions, the text portrays the discipline and atmosphere of Catholic education of the era, hinting at the critical distance that would come to mark the author's secular outlook.
The first edition dates from 1927, and the work is part of Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo collection, Literature section (no. 801).
