«Tortilla Flat» is the fiction novel by John Steinbeck, published by Navona in paperback (214 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the community of Tortilla Flat, in Monterey, California, after the First World War, the novel follows Danny and his friends, a group of paisanos living on the margins of society. Amid drinking bouts, brawls and mischief, the inheritance of two houses turns their camaraderie into the centre of a story full of humour and lyricism, where friendship, freedom and chivalrous generosity prevail over the hardships of poverty.
Originally published in 1935, this Spanish edition includes a translation and prologue by José Luis Piquero. It is part of the Navona Reencuentros collection.
For readers of American classics and of John Steinbeck's fiction, as well as for those seeking a choral story with humour and warmth.
