Réquiem por un campesino español

In the midst of the civil war, Mosén Millán, the parish priest of a small Aragonese village, is preparing to offer a mass for the soul of Paco el del Molino, whom he loved like a son. Little by little, the priest reconstructs the facts of the unsuccessful mediation with which he tried to save the young man, but with which he only managed to deliver him to his executors. Ramón J. Sender, one of the most prominent authors of contemporary narrative, constructs with perfect sobriety and solemnity a dramatic episode, deep and shocking in its simplicity. A book that with its tight realism invites the reader to reflect and that was not published in Spain until 1960 due to Franco's censorship.
