Contra el fascismo

Fight for the Spanish soul (originally published in English in 1941) and Spain in the post-war world (published in 1945) are the only explicitly "political" writings by the great writer Arturo Barea -known, above all, for the autobiographical trilogy La forge of a rebel- that Espasa recovers for Spanish readers at the initiative of William Chislett. Exiled in England between 1939 and 1957, the year in which he died, Barea explores in these pages the ideological roots of Francoism, regretting that democracies like the British left the Spanish Republic alone during the Civil War with the excuse of "non-intervention". , defends the removal of the dictator and explains his vision of what a democratic Spain should be. Two necessary texts to understand the intellectual position of a Spanish author who has marked our literature.
