La doble muerte de Unamuno

December 31, 1936. Miguel de Unamuno dies suddenly at home. Spain is in the middle of the Civil War and Salamanca is the center of operations for the Press and Propaganda of Franco's troops, with Millán Astray at the head. Halfway between chronicle and reflection, historical and biographical inquiry and literary recreation, this book is an exciting investigation into the dark circumstances surrounding the death of one of the most controversial and fascinating figures in recent Spain. Its starting point is the exhaustive research carried out for the making of the documentary film Words for an End of the World, with the purpose of expanding it, deepening it and going further. The result is a counter-narrative that, on the one hand, dismantles and unmasks the official version of the events, built on the account of the only witness, and, on the other, shows that Unamuno was the object of a propaganda operation by which the rebels tried to appropriate of his figure and kidnap his memory and his legacy. His "double death" has made him a symbol of the defense of culture against barbarism and the fight for freedom of speech.
