{"product_id":"9781939810540","title":"Treasure of the Spanish Civil War","description":"By: Serge Pey     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn intimate portrait of childhood during Spain's violent fascist regime, rendered in a surreal kaleidoscope of linked stories.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSerge Pey's stories are lyrical, vivid vignettes of life during and directly following Spain's violent fascist regime of the thirties and forties. 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":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46415172141283,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781939810540","price":102.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781939810540.jpg?v=1748761102","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9781939810540","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
