«La guerra de los botones» is the young-adult novel by Louis Pergaud, published by Anaya in paperback, with 271 pages in Spanish.
The novel recounts the rivalry between the gangs of boys from Longeverne and Velrans, two neighbouring villages in rural France. Their fights, full of stone-throwing and insults, have a very particular prize: the buttons torn from their opponents. Beneath the mischief and humour lies a critique of adults and inherited wars.
The work was originally published in 1912 under the title «La Guerre des boutons»; this Anaya edition belongs to the Tus Libros collection.
A novel for young and adult readers seeking a classic adventure with humour and a critical view of the adult world.
