«La colmena» is the novel by Camilo José Cela, published by Vicens-Vives in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
In the Madrid of 1943, a varied group of characters tries to eat hot food, dodge the cold and survive one more day. Through their encounters in cafés, streets and boarding houses, Cela composes a choral portrait of the Spanish postwar period and a bitter existential chronicle.
The novel was originally published in 1951 and belongs to the series Caminos inciertos. This Vicens-Vives edition, included in the Clásicos Hispánicos collection, is edited by Darío Villanueva.
Camilo José Cela y Trulock, 1st Marquess of Iria Flavia was a Spanish novelist, poet, story writer and essayist associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
