Cañas y barro

In the marshes of the Albufera lagoon, Tonet, a young fisherman's grandson, is torn between work and an easy life, and a love affair ends badly for everyone. Blasco Ibáñez's novel is a vivid picture of the lagoon's people, its boatmen and its seasons. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
