A sangre y fuego has become the most representative and reissued book by Manuel Chaves Nogales, considered one of the capital works on the Spanish Civil War. This edition is the first complete one, adding two unpublished stories sent by Chaves to Cuban and Mexican magazines in 1937. The stories, which are part of the same cycle, offer a vision of the horrors of war and the struggle for survival. The author does not focus on ideological discourses, but on the bare facts, told with a vibrant prose that recalls Baroja and Valle-Inclán.
Manuel Chaves Nogales was a Spanish journalist and writer. Politically he was a moderate left-wing republican democrat who defined himself as "antifascist and antirevolutionary". As such, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Second Spanish Republic.
