«La colmena» is the novel by Camilo José Cela, published by Bruguera in 1982 in hardback (322 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative is set in Madrid in the immediate postwar period and consists of brief linked scenes with a wide group of characters from different social classes. The city thus becomes the protagonist of a social portrait in which black-market dealings, hunger, prostitution and fear coexist with flashes of tenderness and humour.
