«Encerrados con un solo juguete» is the novel by Juan Marsé, published by Bruguera in paperback (251 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in Barcelona in the late 1940s, where the children of middle-class families broken by the war live with few incentives: work only provides subsistence, and sex and lack of hope fill hours marked by disillusionment. The novel portrays family disintegration and the moral decay of a generation trapped in the long postwar period.
Originally published in 1978, it is part of Bruguera's Libro amigo collection (no. 561). ISBN: 8402055214.
