«Las ratas» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Destino in paperback (180 pages, in Spanish).
The work, built as a succession of anecdotes, recalls a vanished village in Castile and follows the lives of Nini and el Ratero, who live in a cave and survive by hunting rats in the river. The boy's silent rebellion allows a portrait of poverty, marginalization, and the relationship with nature in the rural world.
Critics' Prize for Castilian Narrative in 1963. This edition belongs to the Clásicos Contemporáneos Comentados collection, with commentary by Amparo Medina-Bocos.
