The collection is a defiant ode to the resilience of the human spirit, each story depicting a small act of human resistance: a man plants a fruit tree for each of his assassinated comrades; a professor hides a secret library of banned books in plain sight. Many of the stories are surreal, fable-like impressions from the perspective of children caught in the midst of the political violence. Pey's understated yet unusual prose renders a brutal landscape with childlike wonder. \u003ci\u003eThe Treasure of the Spanish Civil War and Other Tales\u003c\/i\u003e is a strikingly original meditation on courage, survival, and hope in the face of oppression. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003eSerge  Pey is a French writer, poet, and visual and performance artist.
