Barcelona 1938

Description

He 1938 Barcelona suffers the most critical stage of the war. While the Francoists advance and international politics abandons the Republic to its fate, in the Catalan capital, the lack of food and the threat of bombing are daily bread. Throughout the year, the writer Cèsar-August Jordana composed a poignant chronicle for the weekly Meridià, sharp and biting, not without humor, of those decisive months. These articles, which include some of the most brilliant and combative pieces of all wartime prose, they are a model of current cultured journalism in the best tradition of the genre.
