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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Serge Pey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193981054X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939810540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archipelago Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/20\/2020","brand":"Serge Pey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241576771839,"sku":"9781939810540","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c4fb394-b733-499b-b3a7-ab669628f921.jpg?v=1772655081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/treasure-of-the-spanish-civil-serge-pey-9781939810540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
