The collection is a defiant ode to the resilience of the human spirit, each story depicting a small act of human resistance: a man plants a fruit tree for each of his assassinated comrades; a professor hides a secret library of banned books in plain sight. Many of the stories are surreal, fable-like impressions from the perspective of children caught in the midst of the political violence. Pey's understated yet unusual prose renders a brutal landscape with childlike wonder. \u003ci\u003eThe Treasure of the Spanish Civil War and Other Tales\u003c\/i\u003e is a strikingly original meditation on courage, survival, and hope in the face of oppression. ","brand":"Archipelago","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43351716462847,"sku":"9781939810540","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781939810540_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589557","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781939810540","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
