📖 Synopsis
Four stories about the defeated of the Spanish Civil War. Méndez wrote a single book and became a classic.
✍️ ChatZona's review
Four stories about the losers of the Spanish Civil War, written with a restraint that makes the pain more unbearable. Méndez died shortly after publishing them, leaving a posthumous book that has become a classic of Spanish literature on the post-war era. The fourth story, featuring a Falangist deacon who falls for a Republican woman, concentrates all the tragedy in a few pages. A brief, perfect, necessary book.
