Publicada en Buenos Aires a causa de la censura, LA COLMENA irrumpió en 1951 en la anodina escena literaria española de la época, introduciendo en ella una decidida corriente de crítica y renovación. Como el propio CAMILO JOSÉ CELA afirma en una nota a la primera edición, esta novela «no es otra cosa que [Š] un trozo de vida narrado paso a paso, sin reticencias, sin extrañas tragedias, sin caridad, como la vida discurre». Ambientada en Madrid en unos pocos días del mes de diciembre de 1943, la obra refleja la realidad intrahistórica de aquellos días de incertidumbre de la posguerra a través de unos personajes inmersos en una insignificancia que como afirma GONZALO...

Au romancier de prendre le relais: mieux que le traite savant dont elle tirait sa substance, la fiction savait recreer une Corse eternelle dans toute sa verite, evitant avec ironie les lieux communs trop abondants dune couleur locale a l`usage des touristes. Sous le regard de bandits, de bergers et dune belle Irlandaise, Orso, en heros tragique, est dechire entre le respect de la justice et la necessite de la vendetta, soumis aux forces archai`ques que dechaine, telle une moderne Electre, sa sceur, la belle Colomba, jeteuse de sorts et voceratrice...

Alternate History is historical fiction that examines the ramifications of a change or changes in known history. Alternate History can use science-fiction devices - such as time-travel - to change history, or it can simply pick a point where, had things merely happened differently (for example: Abraham Lincoln decided not to go to the theater that night, or Henry VIII stayed married to his first wife), history might have taken another path altogether. These books take place 20 years after the Worldwar series. The story begins with the arrival of the alien colonization fleet, and a new phase of the invasion brings thousands of extraterrestrials to Earth.
