Originally titled *377A, madera de héroe*, this novel by Miguel Delibes explores the experience of teenagers during the Spanish Civil War. The work, with a notable autobiographical charge, narrates how the young people of 1936 were immersed in a conflict that deeply marked them. Through the character of Gervasio, Delibes reflects on the thin line between heroism and betrayal in a war context. More than a novel about the war, it is a chronicle of characters trapped in an event that overwhelms them.
