A propos de cet article

New York. 1981. August 1981. Holt Rinehart & Winston. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0030445469. Translated from the Spanish by Nancy Festinger. 226 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Fred Marcellino. keywords: History Spain Spanish Civil War. DESCRIPTION - So that neighbors would not see men's clothing hanging out to dry, Juan Hidalgo España wore dresses during the twenty-eight years he hid in his own home. He'd been in hiding ten years before his own daughter learned of his existence. Saturnino de Lucas spent three of his thirty-four years in hiding sitting in a musty closet where he could neither stand nor lie down. After twenty years of whispering, for fear that the sound of his voice would mean his death, Andres Ruiz emerged from hiding unable to speak at all. Called the moles of the Spanish Civil War, these are Spain's forgotten men. Many were Republican soldiers who fought against Franco's Nationalist forces; others were prominent Socialist leaders - mayors, union heads, political activists - whose prewar authority threatened the new regime; and some were peasants and artisans committed to no cause, recruited against their will to fight on what was to become the losing side. When the Rebels defeated the Republican army in 1939, these men faced imprisonment and possible death, exile abroad, or a life in hiding, Most of the men who tell their stories here remained in hiding for nearly thirty years, sequestered in cramped attics, underground burrows, and caves in the sierras. Many of their relatives were tortured and imprisoned, others killed, for refusing to disclose their whereabouts. Here is a book that reveals the immensity of man's will to live and the strength of the human psyche under extreme conditions of fear, pain, and degradation. Told by the fugitives and their families, these stories are a remarkable testament to the human spirit. Understating the horror, they bring to life the courage, tenacity, and compassion of otherwise quite ordinary men and women as they struggled through a time of trial and anguish. inventory #7026. …
