Summary:"A novel conceived with compassion for humanity, The Olive Field is a portrait of the human drama and spiritual conflict of the Spanish Revolution. Within a tapestry of life among the terraced olive fields of Andalucia, Ralph Bates has woven the threads of traditional society and of radical social upheaval, solemn church ceremonies and angry political meetings, scenes of intense tenderness and of bitter rivalry, and the violent revolt of the Asturian miners' attempt to recapture the social reforms of the early Republic. Frequently compared to Hemingway, Malraux and Silone, Ralph Bates brings to the novel an unparalleled understanding of Spain during one of the most tragic periods in modern history."
