«Federico Sánchez verabschiedet sich» is Jorge Semprún's autobiography, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (354 pages, in German).
Semprún evokes the double life of Federico Sánchez, the clandestine name of his communist militancy, and that of the author himself, now as a minister in democratic Spain. He alternates memories and historical reflection from childhood in Madrid and the Buchenwald camp to the corridors of power, with memory as an uncomfortable witness to History.
This German edition, published in 1996 in the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch collection (st 2636), is a translation from the French by Wolfram Bayer of the original «Federico Sánchez vous salue bien» (1993).
For those interested in Spanish political history, communism and the Transition from the autobiographical account.
