Los protagonistas pertenecen a la clase media y llevan una vida que parece estar paralizada, sin un futuro real y esperanzador, por la situación del país.\n\nLas pequeñas escenas que se narran en esta obra ocurren simultáneamente. Las vidas de los personajes se entrecruzan formando un mosaico como las celdas de una colmena.\n\nPara sortear la censura, Camilo José Cela se vio obligado a eliminar algunas escenas en las que se trataban temas de contenido sexual. Una vez acabado el franquismo, estas escenas nunca fueron restituidas en ninguna de las numerosas ediciones que se llevaron a cabo.

The story line is set in a postwar Madrid during a few days in 1943. It is a work in which the author wanted to depict the social reality of those difficult years in Spain's history. The middle class protagonists lead a stale life, without any hope for a real future due to the country's political situation. The lives of these characters are intertwined forming a mosaic, a sort of web that looks like a hive. In order to get around the censorship of those times, Camilo Jose Cela had to take out some parts of the book that were deemed too sexual.\n\nAfter Franco left power Cela never felt the need to insert those deleted scenes back into any newly published editions. Now, for the first time, this new commemorative edition includes those never before read scenes, and just like that, the novel is now published as it was originally written. This new edition includes complementary studies and essays written by the most notable critics, writers, and Spanish and Latinamerican professors. Also, a glossary, and a selected bibliography about Cela's works is included.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 8420420689\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.8420420689.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cela, Camilo Jose\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
