Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This captivating work explores the raw realities of a 19th-century Spanish seaside village upended by modernity. The author, a pioneer of Spanish realism, tells a tale of fishermen enduring harsh conditions to feed their families. The lives of these humble workers are surprisingly rich in joy and sorrow, hope and resilience, and their resilience reveals a quiet nobility in the face of life's challenges. This book is a poignant tribute to the often-overlooked people who shape their communities, even as they are shaped by the sea's relentless rhythm.
