School of the Sun

by Ana María Matute and Anna Maria Matute

Book Overview

A Spanish writer's approach by the intimist route to the still unassuaged griefs of the Civil War...What happens is that the protected bourgeois world in which it is possible to go on with the pretext of childishness at fourteen is split open by the realities of war, or, rather, the realities of which the war is the expression.

Customer Reviews

An obvious AP necessity

Though this book is required for AP Spanish classes, and possibly not a book that many would be drawn to of their own volition, I have to admit that thus far, it has been the least painful book of the class. The autobiographical novel is poignant, and draws the reader into the story quickly and certainly. A good book to read, especially if one is interested in the Spanish Civil War.
