Esta obra es una antología que reúne catorce relatos con distintos protagonistas y situaciones y un tema común: la postración moral, la humillación, el acomodo a difíciles supervivencias, de gentes modestas para quienes la guerra civil española fue su herida central y su cicatriz decisiva. Los relatos van precedidos de un prólogo de Camilo José Cela, incorporado en la edición de 1977, y de un prólogo actual a cargo de José María Merino.
