Description

Vicente Blasco Ibáñez wrote in 1898 "La barraca" (The Shack), a novel with some cultural significance among Spanish literature for reflecting rural life at the end of 19th century with specific local color. In 1979, León Klimovsky directed an adaptation in the form of a miniseries. The shack referred to in the title is a barraca, a typical building of the Valencian Community that served as housing for farmers in irrigated farming areas.
