1919. Ibanez, Spanish novelist and political activist, who wrote The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which made him world famous. La Bodega is the third of a notable series in which Ibanez attacks important questions of the day. It was preceded by The Shadow of the Cathedral and The Intruder and directly followed by The Horde. The first of these books deals with the retrogressive influence of the Catholic Church upon Spain; the second, with the Jesuits. La Bodega is a double assault: first, upon the vice of drunkenness, and second, upon the propertied interests that willfully keep the lower class in ignorance.
