FROM THE PUBLISHER - In 1938, during the Spanish civil war, Miguel Delibes volunteered to join the navy, because otherwise he would be drafted into the infantry and feared the prospect of hand-to-hand fighting. His experience at sea went into Madera de HEroe (1987; translated as THE STUFF OF HEROES), one of his best novels, from his late period when he could publish without worrying about censors. ‘Those of us who were not physically mutilated were psychologically mutilated,' he wrote of the war. inventory #14520 ISBN: 0394577469.
