«La barraca» is the realist novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, published by Plaza & Janés in hardback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the Valencian huerta, it narrates the arrival of Batiste Borrull and his family to lands abandoned since their previous tenant was evicted. The hostility of the neighbours turns their settlement into a conflict that portrays misery, envy and injustice in the countryside at the end of the 19th century.
The work was originally published in 1898. This edition belongs to the collection Gran antología de la literatura universal del siglo XX.
Its ease of reading makes it a suitable option for adolescents and for those approaching Spanish rural narrative.
Valencian novelist and politician, author of La Barraca, Reeds and Mud and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a major international bestseller of his day.
