«Madera de héroe» is the historical novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Planeta in hardback (439 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Gervasio, a teenager from the generation marked by the Spanish Civil War. Delibes draws on his own experience to show the blurred line between heroism and betrayal, and how many young people were caught up in the conflict without seeking it, in a chronicle of lives trapped by a historical episode that marked them forever.
Work published in 2003 as part of a special edition for El Norte de Castilla. The original title, «377A, madera de héroe», was simplified by the author's decision.
Novel suitable for young and adult readers who want to approach the Spanish Civil War through the narrative of Miguel Delibes.
