About this book

In the early 20th century, Spain was a crucible of social change, reflecting the tensions between tradition and modernity. "Mala Hierba" by Pío Baroja captures this dynamic through the eyes of Manuel, a young man adrift in Madrid's vibrant bohemian scene. As he grapples with existential questions and the pursuit of meaningful work, Manuel's encounters with diverse characters, including the ambitious student Roberto Hasting, reveal the complexities of ambition and disillusionment. This novel offers a keen exploration of identity and societal expectations, making it essential reading for students, civic activists, and historians alike. Delve into Baroja's nuanced narrative and discover the rich tapestry of early 20th-century Spanish life.
