«A sangre y fuego» is Manuel Chaves Nogales's book of short stories about the Spanish Civil War, published by Espasa in hardcover (276 pages, in Spanish).
Manuel Chaves Nogales wrote these nine stories about the Spanish Civil War in 1937, from exile in France. The author, a journalist, portrays those who suffered the conflict without taking sides: neither good nor bad, only cruelty, absurdity and disorientation. The anecdotes and places are real, narrated with journalistic agility and literature of denunciation.
The 2001 edition belongs to the Austral Ediciones Especiales collection; the cover bears the subtitle Héroes, bestias y mártires de España. The work was originally published in 1937.
It will appeal to readers of Spanish history and narrative on the Civil War, as well as to those who appreciate journalistic chronicle as literature.
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.
