Anatomía de un instante

This book is an essay in chronicle form or a chronicle in essay form. This book is not fiction. This book is the anatomy of an instant: the instant in which Adolfo Suárez remained seated on the afternoon of February 23, 1981 while the bullets of the coup plotters buzzed around him in the Chamber of the Congress of Deputies and all the other parliamentarians -all but two: General Gutiérrez Mellado and Santiago Carrillo- sought refuge under their seats. This book is the chronicle of that gesture and the chronicle of a coup d'état and the chronicle of some decisive years in the history of Spain. This book is an essential book. A unique book.
