A sparse, witty, and unsentimentally brutal novel, The Tree of Knowledge, originally published in 1911, is a philosophical coming of age story not unlike Jack London's Martin Eden. Baroja's observations and criticisms of late 19th century Spanish society remain just as relevant today-perhaps even more so-because they are based on his strong understanding of human nature and the human condition.

A stunning novel, now back in print in a completely new, re-typeset edition.
