Manuel Chaves Nogales

Manuel Chaves Nogales is one of the best Spanish chroniclers of the first half of the 20th century. A journalist by vocation and conviction, he considered the information as a public service aimed at "stirring up the spirit and arousing interest in the great issues of our time." For this reason, he promoted the renewal of journalistic work and promoted investigation and commitment to the truth, which allowed him to become a privileged witness of contemporary Spanish and European society. This new biography of Francisco Cánovas has the purpose of expanding knowledge of the life and work of Manuel Chaves Nogales, recognizing the privileged place he occupies in contemporary Spanish culture and bringing his journalistic and literary work, his vision of the great events of the 20th century and its civic, humanist and democratic ideas, which are fully valid today in the 21st century.
