ABOUT THIS BOOK: Going back to the days of prewar Spain, this sensitive novel is the record of an idyllic childhood. Pepe died in a concentration camp just after the Franco victory, leaving a chronicle of his youth. He had lived happily in an ancient part of the land of the hidalgos basking under an interim of peace. Here in a world sheltered by the traditional values of home and family, Pepe felt no breath of the impending storm. He was burdened, not with the torment of social struggle, but with his love for Valentina. He knew hate, but only as a normal son resenting his father's dominion. Even his fights were the natural squabbles of growing boys. These and other glowing memories gave Pepe the strength to endure defeat.(Publisher).

Store description

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
