In this essay, Gerald Brenan brilliantly and meticulously analyzes the background and problems that led to the Spanish Civil War. The author, an Englishman in love with Spain, resided in the country for twenty years before 1936, which allowed him to get to know its people closely and study their problems. For a time, he shared the tragedy of the people before going into exile. In the following years, he expanded his knowledge in the library of the British Museum, and the result of this dual experience was this work. 'The Spanish Labyrinth' examines the problems of Spain before 1936, paying special attention to the years of the Second Republic. This historical, economic, political and social analysis is considered in the English-speaking world as the best introduction for those who wish to specialize in Hispanic themes or simply learn about them. For experts, it offers an admirable synthesis of 20th century Spain.
Edward FitzGerald "Gerald" Brenan, CBE, MC was a British writer and hispanist who spent much of his life in Spain.
