Synopsis of Derecha ¡ar!. La perra mili de un españolito

«Derecha ¡ar!. La perra mili de un españolito» is the novel by Javier Villán, published by Ediciones Akal in paperback (138 pages, in Spanish).

Javier Villán evokes the Spain of the second half of the 20th century through Sebastián Villegas Zapata, a recruit with little martial spirit and a vocation for desertion. The narrative shows life in the barracks and the political and ideological weight of an army victorious in the civil war, with the insubordination and bewilderment of young men lacking any sense of military discipline, in a tale of melancholy and picaresque tone.

Volume 10 of the «Fuera de colección» collection from Ediciones Akal, published in 2001. Includes illustrations by David Ouro.

For readers interested in social memory and criticism of 20th-century Spain, with humor and irony.
